THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The way he’s able to captivate a room is among his best qualities. In fact, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay is sometimes so engaging during team film sessions that left tackle Andrew Whitworth thinks he’s watching a television broadcast.
“Sometimes I literally feel like I’m sitting there watching Jon Gruden on Monday Night Football,” Whitworth said.
It’s no coincidence that Whitworth and his teammates think their 32-year-old coach bears resemblance to the 55-year-old Gruden. McVay has spent a decade absorbing every detail from the Super Bowl-winning coach.
“So much of what I’ve learned about this game has been from his mentorship that he’s provided,” McVay said.
