The presence of these legends brought an undeniable energy to the camp, reminding everyone of the rich legacy and high standards associated with the Rams. Here’s a look at the former players who made an impact during their visit.
Andrew Whitworth
The towering offensive tackle and beloved team leader, Whitworth retired after helping the Los Angeles Rams secure a Super Bowl victory in the 2021 season. During an interview with comedian Kwame Siegel, Whitworth mentioned Steve Avila as a player to watch out for this upcoming season on the offensive line.
DeSean Jackson

LeSean McCoy
Although he didn’t play for the Los Angeles Rams, McCoy’s illustrious career as a running back, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills, is well-respected. He made a visit to camp to record some content for his podcast.
Eric Weddle
The veteran safety, who came out of retirement to join the Rams for their Super Bowl run, returned to share his defensive mind with the team. Weddle had multiple conversations with Coach McVay and fellow retiree Andrew Whitworth.
Todd Gurley
Once the centerpiece of the Rams’ offense, Gurley’s return evoked memories of his dominant performances and scoring ability. Despite his career being shortened by injuries, Gurley’s influence on the running back position and his contributions to the team’s success are undeniable. When asked the same question as Whitworth, Gurley cited Tutu Atwell as his player to watch this year.
Being in LA means you get to see a lot of stars and Rams camp is no different. All of the former players made their mark on this team and it shows how good a culture Sean McVay has built that they all want to come back and visit.
