Sports Writing, 15 Mar Offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth, NFL champion with Los Angeles Rams at Super Bowl LVI, announced Tuesday his retirement after 16 seasons. “I'm Andrew Whitworth, player from Los Angeles Rams and today I'm announcing my retirement,” was the message that the 40-year-old shared on his social networks. The winner in the 2021 season of the Walter Payton trophy, Man of the Year, who recognizes the player with the most outstanding community service activities, explained how he lived the last leg of his career with the Rams. “Five years ago they told me that maybe my time was over and here I am, five years later giving my opinion of what happened in that time, and after 16 years of career, and they still ask me how you were able to do it at such a high level,” he added. The four-time Pro Bowl selection arrived in the NFL selected by the Bengals in 55th place in the second round of the 2006 Draft, with Cincinnati running until 2016. In 2017, the Monroe, Louisiana, signed with Los Angeles Rams, a squad with which he played twice for the NFL championship, lost the Super Bowl LIII in 2018 to the Patriots 13-3, and beat in 2022, in the LVI edition, the Bengals 23-20. The owner of the 77th Rams jersey confessed what is the most precious thing he wears as a souvenir of his career. “I think about what this trip has been like and all the people who have been with me and supported me, I think that's really what I feel the most; I don't think about trophies, nor do I think about championships, I think about people.” Since he arrived at the Rams in 2016 Andrew Whitworth was elected captain of the team for his leadership and for being an example for the youngest players on the team. “During my time here I always looked for ways to show them how to be better and push them to a different level of excellence on a different standard each season,” the lineman shared in his farewell. In his career with the Bengals and the Rams, the player started 235 games. At the age of 40, he became the oldest lineman to play a Super Bowl.
