It didn’t take long for offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth to establish himself as one of the leaders of the Rams, proving to be the veteran presence they needed from the first day he arrived in Los Angeles. He was voted a team captain for 2017, along with fellow newcomer Connor Barwin, showing just how much his teammates respect him.

Wednesday at the Pro Bowl, he was voted a team captain once again. Whitworth, along with several other players, were both named captains of the NFC team.

Whitworth has only been with the Rams for one season, but he’s already had a significant impact on them.

The Pro Bowl takes place on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. Eight Rams were added to the team, though defensive tackle Aaron Donald will not participate.
