Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey!”

Andrew Whitworth was not sure if 2021-2022 would be his last season. Two days before Super Bowl LVI, he decided that if he won the big game, he’d retire. Now he has lived up to his word.

Andrew was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro. Whitworth is the only NFL player in history to start at left tackle after the age of 40. It was a career well spent and well earned. Congratulations to Andrew Whitworth!
