Holding training camp in Los Angeles makes it easy for the stars to come out to Rams practice and on Monday, the team had a couple of visitors on the field. Andrew Whitworth and Eric Weddle, who each won a Super Bowl ring with the Rams in 2021, were out at practice hanging out with their former coaches and teammates.
Whitworth has remained close to the organization since retiring after the 2021 season, while Weddle also has a relationship with Sean McVay and several others in the Rams’ building.
The Rams shared a photo of Whitworth with Cooper Kupp and McVay, with the big man calling those two his family.

Weddle also shared a couple of photos from Rams camp, including a selfie with McVay. The former safety didn’t just watch practice, either. He sat in on meetings, while also saying the Rams are in for “a big season.
Spending the day with my brother was an absolute blast. Being a fly on the wall in meetings will help me more than you know. Miss talking ball, scheming, the grind, the hitting, the meetings. So many great memories and emotions today. @RamsNFL are in for a BIG SEASON! pic.twitter.com/srXWCYPbNQ

They may not be coaches, but having two studs like Whitworth and Weddle around can only help the team. It’s also a testament to the culture McVay has built in L.A. where former players are always coming around and keeping in close contact with the team.
