And off the field, Whitworth was the NFL Players Association 2019 Alan Page Community Award winner, having led Los Angeles’ player efforts to support the Thousand Oaks community after the tragic Borderline shooting and the devastating wildfires that ravaged the area.
At the age of 37, Whitworth has a decision to make: Will he return for another season?
He has one year remaining on the three-year contract he signed with L.A. at the outset of free agency back in March 2017. And he’s clearly still performing at a high level. While it’s not everything, Pro Football Focus rated Whitworth as its No. 5 offensive tackle in the regular season and put him No. 29 on its top 101 players of 2018.
Just after the conclusion of the Super Bowl, Whitworth said he didn’t know if he would retire.
“I'll let the offseason play out and kind of see what's best for the franchise, what's best for me and see what happens,” Whitworth said on Feb. 3.
