Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Rob Havenstein has officially announced his retirement from the NFL after a decade with the franchise. The veteran lineman shared the news via his Instagram account on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Havenstein, 32, was originally selected by the Rams in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft. During his ten-season tenure, which spanned the team's move from St. Louis to Los Angeles, he became a mainstay on the offensive line. He started over 130 games at right tackle and played a pivotal role in the team's victory in Super Bowl LVI.
A consistent presence for the organization, Havenstein was one of the longest-tenured players on the current roster. His retirement marks a significant transition for the Rams' front five, as he served as a primary protector for quarterbacks Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford throughout his career. The Wisconsin product was widely regarded as a leader in the locker room and a reliable anchor for the team's rushing and passing attacks since entering the league.
