Whitworth interview....

[THE PISTONS]

In PFF's Top 100 players of 2018, he graded out as the 29th best player at ANY POSITION:

29. ANDREW WHITWORTH, LOS ANGELES RAMS

Top 101 appearances: 7
Simply put, there hasn’t been a more consistent performer at the left tackle position than Whitworth, and at age 37, Whitworth continued his premier play this season. His overall grade of 82.7 was good for fifth among all offensive tackles in the NFL through the regular season, and as always, the All-Pro was as solid as they come in pass protection where he allowed 33 total pressures from 601 pass-blocking snaps.
