Big Whit Retires

[dang]

Great Player. Great Teammate. Great Man. He will be remembered by me as my favorite Rams OL.

Golden Boy Brady could learn something from this but he doesn’t have what Andrew Whitworth has.

There's a nice two-and-a-half minute Goodbye / Thank You video on Whitworth's Instagram.

It's also on the Rams-team-site.

Thanks, Big Whit. You came to the Rams when things were looking bleak and the franchise was in transition, the future uncertain. You were taking more of a chance on the Rams than they were taking on you, because you would have done well anywhere and could have easily gone to a team that was better at the time. But you came to the Rams and became an instrumental part of a turnaround that turned this franchise into a winner and culminated with a Super Bowl championship. You deserve that ring as much as anybody, Andrew, and this fan base will never be able to thank you enough. Hope you have a great retirement - but we would love to see you around this franchise in some capacity or other. Good luck.

Stay in shape big guy as if needed down the stretch we know you could step right in. Seems to be the thing to do these days.

Way to go out on top Big Whit!!!! Rams Nation will forever Thank you and appreciate you!!

Whit has already stated that he wishes to remain in football, whether coaching, consulting, etc. You can guess where that would be.

Thanks for the five great years you gave the Rams organization and Rams fans,

When he was signed it was let us get a good two years out of him and a decent third year.

He gave us 5 years and helped get 2 Super Bowl appearances and a big Super Bowl victory!

Thanks for the memories and all you did for the Rams big Whit! He was one of McVay/Sneead's first signings and along with Bobby Trees played a major role in getting this thing turned around. I'm sure the Rams would be happy to welcome him back into the Rams org in some capacity if he was interested, otherwise I hope retirement treats him well.

What a legend this man is. Congratulations on a unbelievable career. What an epic way to finish as a Super Bowl Champion and still at the top of his game.

Will miss watching him play but what a legacy he leaves. Hope he enjoys retirement and can spend some more time with his great family.

Go Big Whit and Go Rams !!!

Fair winds and following seas, Big Whit!

What a way to end an amazing career. The tears that hit when I read of his retirement were unexpected. I really hope he sticks around in some capacity

 

[LA_vision]

Thanks for everything Big Whit!

I’m glad that we won a championship for this man. I hope he remains with us as a consultant, but he’s earned his retirement.

Best of luck in your next chapter, Big Whit!
