Joe Noteboom has a chance to prove himself as Rams' current and future LT

The Los Angeles Rams have played exactly one game without Andrew Whitworth since he signed as a free agent in 2017, and it wasn’t because he was injured. It was when the Rams elected to rest their starters in Week 17 of the 2017 season, giving Whitworth the day off.

His durability has been remarkable, especially considering he’s 38 years old and still playing just about every single snap at left tackle. But with Whitworth now likely on the shelf for at least a few weeks, the Rams face the difficult reality of lining up without their stud left tackle blocking Jared Goff’s blindside.


It’s now Joe Noteboom’s turn to step up and prove his worth after a shaky start to his career in the NFL. Bouncing between backup tackle and starting guard has prepared Noteboom to play multiple spots, but it hasn’t exactly made him ready to line up for every snap as a starting left tackle.
