Andrew Whitworth Hung Out With Joe Burrow in Los Angeles: 'He's a Special Young Man'
CINCINNATI — Former Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth is still playing at a high level, even though he turned 39-years-old in December.
The Los Angeles Rams lineman will return for a 16th season in 2021. Whitworth has been extremely durable throughout his career, but the injury bug bit him last season.
He suffered a knee injury in Week 9 that nearly forced him to miss the rest of year. He was able to return for the Rams postseason run.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow suffered his season-ending knee injury a few weeks after Whitworth's. The two stars hung out in Los Angeles in December.
"Love Joe. I got a chance to spend some time with him after he got injured and I was injured as well," Whitworth said on Dave Lapham's new podcast. "Torn my PCL and MCL in Week 9 and then he got hurt a couple weeks later and was out in L.A. after surgery. We got a chance to actually meet up on NFL Sunday and watch some games at my house both laid up in our crutches. It was good to visit and good to get a chance to get to know him just cause we have some similarities throughout our career. He's a special young man. I can't wait to watch him grow and mature and be who he's going to be. It's going to be really, really special. He's got a special mentality about him that just jumps off at you in the first bit of conversation with him."

It isn't surprising to see Burrow and Whitworth click. They're both former LSU stars. They were both drafted by the Bengals. It was probably good for Burrow to be around a veteran like Whitworth.
