Sean McVay and Andrew Whitworth became great friends during their five years together with the Los Angeles Rams, and not just because they’re somewhat close in age; Whitworth is actually 4 years older than his former coach.
And even though they’re no longer on the same team after Whitworth’s retirement this offseason, they remain very close off the field. Not only has Whitworth still hung around the Rams’ facility and their Draft House, but McVay has kept in touch with Whitworth’s family.
Whitworth shared on Instagram Thursday night that his son had to undergo a procedure to relieve discomfort in his hip. Doctors had to drill through his femur for a bone lesion biopsy, which Whitworth called a “scary process.” McVay was there to help the youngster through, FaceTiming him before the surgery – which Whitworth says was his son’s favorite part, and probably his, too.
