Los Angeles Rams left tackle and team captain Andrew Whitworth will be the first player to start at left tackle at the age of 40 in the history of the National Football League come Monday Night when LA takes on the Arizona Cardinals.
Drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2006 with the 55th pick Whitworth has been one of the best lineman in the league and a cornerstone of the Rams offensive line during the Sean McVay era.
To add perspective to Whitworth’s career, here is a recap of some of the players in his draft class:
Pick #1: Mario Williams DE
Coming out of North Carolina State, Williams played 11 years in the league and retired in 2016.
