Andrew Whitworth retired from the NFL after 16 seasons earlier this year, calling it a career after going out on top as the Walter Payton Man of the Year and a Super Bowl champion. It was the perfect ending to a Hall of Fame-worthy career, but Whitworth hasn’t gone far.
He remains close to the game he loves, taking on a broadcasting job with Amazon on Thursday Night Football. Whitworth has also stuck around in Los Angeles, attending several Rams practices this summer and hanging out in their war room during the draft.
Whitworth is enjoying retirement and staying busy, keeping that competitive fire by finding a new passion in the media world. He’d love to work for an NFL organization one day – ideally, the Rams, he says – whether it’s as a coach or in the front office.
I recently caught up with Whitworth, who opened up about his future career plans, his decision to join Twitter, expectations for Joe Noteboom and much more. Whitworth also discussed his partnership with Pepsi, giving one fan a chance to live in a game-day-ready tiny home for 18 weeks this NFL season.
