Andrew Whitworth’s retirement left the Rams with a big void at left tackle, one they’ve already filled with Joe Noteboom. But he also left a hole as a leader of this team, both off the field and on Sundays.
Rob Havenstein, the eldest offensive lineman, is in a perfect position to step up as the guy younger players look up to. He’s doing everything he can to help fill the shoes of Whitworth, attempting to lead by example just as No. 77 did during his five years in Los Angeles.
