Andrew Whitworth has been a leader for the Rams the last three years after holding a similar role with the Bengals for a decade. In the locker room and on the field, Whitworth helps guide his teammates and acclimate young players to the speed of the NFL.
He’s particularly valuable at the line of scrimmage, calling out things he sees with the opposing defense and coaching up his fellow linemen up front. He was mic’d up against the Cowboys in the Rams’ 44-21 loss on Sunday, and it shows just how much he provides from a leadership standpoint.
Whitworth can be heard making calls, helping Austin Corbett with his blocking assignments and communicating with players such as Jared Goff and Cooper Kupp.
Unfortunately, it didn’t do enough to help the Rams get the win as they were dominated by the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, all but ending Los Angeles’ chances of making the playoffs.
