Cincinnati Bengals great Andrew Whitworth will just so happen to be at the team’s 2022 Ring of Honor ceremony this season.
The ceremony takes place in primetime during the team’s “Thursday Night Football” game against the Miami Dolphins on September 29. Whitworth will help call that game as part of Amazon’s presentation package.
Willie Anderson, one of the four announced members of the franchise’s second Ring of Honor class, revealed this fun nugget while also saying that Whitworth was quick to text and congratulate him once he was announced as an inductee.
Whitworth retired this offseason after the Super Bowl win with the Rams and joined Amazon.
ESPN’s Ben Baby grabbed the details:
Willie Anderson said former OT Andrew Whitworth reached out to congratulate him on his Bengals Ring of Honor induction.
Anderson also said Whitworth told him he'll be working the Bengals-Fins TNF game on Amazon.

Whitworth’s an interesting conversation with Bengals fans after his somewhat-ugly split from the team in free agency after apparent low-ball offers. He went on to join the Rams and play at a very high level, besides winning the Super Bowl. Whether he’ll go in either team’s Ring, let alone potentially the Hall of Fame, remains up for debate.
Either way, he’ll get to share in the special moment of Anderson, one of four franchise legends getting enshrined soon.
