Every good offense needs a solid left tackle. By bringing in former Bengal Andrew Whitworth, the Rams expect to have stabilized one of the most important positions on the field.
“I think you look at his career, he’s had a great career — his resume kind of speaks for itself,” Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. “I haven’t seen, really, any falloff.”
While having Whitworth at left tackle will be an obvious benefit to young quarterback Jared Goff, McVay said the addition should also aid running back Todd Gurley’s production.
