After 16 years in the NFL, All Pro and Super Bowl Champion Andrew Whitworth is finally hanging up his cleats.
The 2021 Walter Payton Man Of The Year recipient, sits down with Ryan, Fred and Channing as the guys talk about how Whitworth did not leave any stone unturned throughout his professional football career, excelling on and off the field starting 235 out of 240 games.
Ryan and Whit jokingly bond over their Louisiana roots and sharing a common friend in the Lombardi trophy while a salty Fred and Channing can only admire from a distance.
Whitworth goes into great detail about Sean McVay and what makes him a great coach, noting that he's known for being an offensive guru, but Whit says that is almost a disservice to who he really is because what makes him rare is his ability to lead on all fronts and in tough situations. "He's one of one," Whit says, describing his former head coach. He goes on to explain how McVay was the core to uniting so many big personalities and widespread talent on the Rams Super Bowl team.
Opening up about leaving Cincinnati, Whitworth reveals how he wrote a personal letter to owner Mike Brown, expressing his gratitude while looking for a way to work out a fair deal for him to play out his career with the Bengals. Despite what it seemed on the outside and to fans, the response from that letter is what eventually led Whitworth to join the Rams. Whit describes how he didn't want to be perceived as deserting the organization or compared to his former quarterback and teammate Carson Palmer for an abrupt exit and talks about how Palmer’s move ultimately soured the two’s relationship.
Channing questions how a big offensive lineman lands Miss Louisiana as his wife and what the action in the bedroom is like after winning a super bowl. The guys pivot the conversation into marriage and family life as they talk about the example as men they set for their children and the values instilled no matter race, religion, skin color are important.
Retiring as a Bengal or Ram, Whit said he’s uncertain yet but jokes he was waiting to see if he can get on the Eric Weddle plan of playing 3 games and a Super Bowl.
Closing out the conversation, Fred rolls off all the accolades Whit has achieved in his long NFL tenure as the guys are in agreement that his day in Canton as a future hall of famer should be locked in.

Fred Taylor is so genuine, it’s about damn time he gets his flowers!
💯
Absolutely
Yessirrrr
Yessir Danny Dimes
I had the man's rookie card when I was in middle school. So bummed I lost it ;(
The fact that Whit was able to play OT at a high level at age 40 is INSANE. Much respect to the guy.
Extremely insane
And as a Lineman🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hel yea
@@tarrikanderson4742 I said OT lol.
Not that insane alot of ot were in there 40s playing at a high level and even probowlers
The conviction and integrity this man speaks with is contagious. I smiled the entire episode and he dropped some gems, great knowledge. Thanks Fred, Ryan and Channing another great one!

Made me really proud to be from Louisiana West Monroe to West Baton Rouge ⚜️
Your beautiful
@@ahmadgardner7507 thanks love
As a native of Louisiana with all the problems our state has had. I am proud of this brother and how he may need to run our state in the future. I'm a big fan Big Whit. Geaux Tigers!!
It’s awesome to see a OFFENSIVE lineman getting some love man. These dudes are in the trenches doing the dirty work no one wants to do and only get their names called when a flag is thrown. It’s good seeing this!
I’ll never forget what they do . Mr. Madden reminded me of this every Sunday .
@@aoclive6710 Yep! He made sure that everyone understands the importance of the OL
Factz rip John madden he def gave the oline props
"That's where community starts, at my dinner table... making sure they understand it will never be acceptable to carry my name, and disrespect people..." Come on, Whit!!! So good.
❤️🔥 🙌🏾👌🏾
I loved that!!
He truly is an amazing human.
I felt that in my soul
Its funny how this show makes me become interested in people I never thought I'd be interested in. Once again good job fellas!
Exactly 🎯 it seems I pick this show to watch. No matter the headline. Any other podcast I’ll wait until it’s someone I know lol if that makes sense.
The Pivot continues to have amazing and diverse guests.....and they ask real questions while making said guests feel comfortable. These gentlemen are seriously the best at what they do. Major s/o to The Pivot.
I learn so much every episode. Like you're saying the diversity just gives so many different perspectives and the different routes these people took towards success is really motivating and inspirational.
@@donsmith3067 seriously, it's amazing how much we can learn just by having a conversation. I love this podcast.
hit on the money! making the ladies and gentlemen comfortable while they have these talk what makes me love it
@@quiseM0728 it's doesn't even feel like an interview. It feels like friends just catching up!!!
I never skip the intro, it gets me too hyped every single time
Dude is a legend won championship at every level high school college and nfl
Man I'm in the 1st quarter of this and this is great... I love the diversity of guests you guys have on each week...
That's why they're the best.
@@betabetapsi yes sir
Agreed. Not just football and sports but also broader entertainment and other fields as well.
Exactly! Shannon Sharpe needs to learn something.
I really hope Whit becomes an analyst. He has a ton of football and life knowledge to share. He'd be great on TV.
Nobody knows more than the GOAT Brady
Well he does now lol
A TRUE RAMS LEGEND!!! Blessing this guy came to change our organization from been crap to one of the top organization in the game!!!!
Not a rams legend but will be loved by rams fans. All the fans I know love him. But cmon now🤣
@@ricojohnson6351 him and mcvay helped change the organization when mcvay first came in I don't think you realize how much wit did besides playing And yes he will go down as a rams legend because they won a SB Not only that man of the year and oldest lineman in the game He is a rams legend! Now explain and give me examples of how he is not a rams legend?
Big Whitt is not only a hall of fame player, but a person as well.
Fred’s hat collection is A1. Love the nostalgia “I Love you Miami”
Thank you fellas having Big Whitt I love this dude as a player, but I love him even more he is such great person in our Los Angeles community. 💪
“Don’t let the perception of what people think of you be your reality” …. Excellent conversation.. profound.. Thank you Gentlemen!
Ryan has this huge smile talking about LSU as if he is meeting his celebrity crush and it’s hilarious
I think so many episodes later I'll be able to tell people who graduated from LSU Jarvis Landry OBJ Ryan Clark Andrew Whitworth Shaq Tyran Mathieu
@@thenation1575 no way Mathieu graduated from there...dude got kicked off the team lol
Where y’all at Pivot Crew? Let’s go.
Yeoooooo
We outchea!!

We're just like Channing teeth just waiting our turn!!!!!
@@joeboxernum31 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Teaching us young folk life lessons keep going strong ‼️
The Pivot is so bad ass! Big Witt is one cool cat! He’s a beast too! He towered over Ryan, Fred, and Channing. He’s wider than them too! SMH…amazing!!!! If y’all could get a sit down with my boy Mike Alstott that would put y’all as the best sit down convo EVER!!!!
Can already tell this gone be a great sitdown 🔥
Bruh Channing said, “Fred🏆👀…FRED!🏆👀” 🤣🤣🤣
Whit is a REAL 1. In all aspects. My vote for HOF
I respect Andrew more than any athlete because of his heart. Dude is a real one fa sho 💯
He brought the trophy !! Big flex
Without flexing. 😎😎😎💯💯💯
What gem of man is... Andrew... Respect
Being a ravens fan. I've always liked Andrew and this was actually one of my favorite interviews. I love listening to a GROWN ASS MAN talk ball and life. People like that is inspiring. He is actually one of people I was rooting for to get a ring during the superbowl.
Dude!!! Isn’t it so refreshing and cool. This whole interview is like being at the beach and just enjoying the breeze
man all 3 of you guys are so good at yall roles on this show. ryan was the perfect piece to the puzzle.
A man with Great Integrity & Character… Whit personifies that! Man my heart feels good watching. RC & Fred ( Chan ) keep providing great interviews and elevating the conversations
The Pivot Bout To Win The Podcast Content Bowl 🏆🥇🏆
These dudes ain't playing fair.😫😂
Big Whit speaks with such conviction. I love the move of writing the Bengal's owner a letter, a real man to man move.
Pivot Fam Stand Up🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why I do this shoulder dance everytime theme song play? Love this podcast. Cincy says hi Big W.
What Andrew said towards the end about this show was very interesting. Super cool dude. Love hearing him speak.
Big Whit is a real one! Love this podcast!
Smoking! It’s cool to hear an offensive linemen speak like a superstar! THANKS!
Crazy how that man is still elite at his age, man still looks younger than what he shows🤙
The integrity, honesty , morals , and values that this guess has is so touching that it should make people really look at the big picture of life and things in general that life is more than yourself accomplishments and money always allow yourself to help give and grow. This is a great cast of althelics that really care about people .Peace ,love and keep on keeping on.
Such a great sit down!! Knocked it out the park again.
Really great interview. Whitworth is a special man, and the conversation between him and this great trio is special. Lightening in a bottle...keep pushing!
I never played football but in this show you will hear life lessons! Lessons you can apply to your life and make that pivot!
Whit is such a wonderful human being. Perhaps ppl can learn a lot from his story, his journey. Awesome job guys, please keep it up!
Seeing videos and hearing stories from Big Whit I know this episode is going to be amazing the show is only getting better and better
He’s an amazing man God bless him
One of the best O-lineman to play the game congratulations on a perfect end to the story
Big witt! First ballot hall of fame tackle. Glad he got a ring
Won’t be first ballot but will definitely be in there
Only 4 pro bowls, he might get in b/c of longevity but Jason Peters, Trent Williams, and Tyron Smith get the nod before him.
@@h.b.9879 100 percent what I keep telling these folks. Even joe Thomas
Love Ryan's sweatshirt. love the pivot. keep pushing guys
Big Whit 🔥🔥
As a Football FANatic, this is everything 💕🏈💕 Pivotal...🥰
As a Bengal fan 🧡🖤Who Dey🧡🖤 I was happy that Whitworth finally received a SB ring.
We all know Whit is invited to the cookout 🤣🤣
I remembers meeting him at a camp with Willie Anderson back in 07, great experience. The pivot delivers yet again!
