A longtime mainstay of the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive line is calling it a career.

Tackle Rob Havenstein announced Tuesday that he is retiring from the NFL at age 33. In a post on Instagram, he thanked his family, teammates, and coaches for helping him along the way.

“11 years, 150+ starts, 4 time captain, 4 NFC West Championships, 2 NFC Championships and 1x Super Bowl Champion. What a ride it’s been!” Havenstein wrote. “I can look back on my career and smile knowing I have given everything I had and more to the game I love.”

The Rams drafted Havenstein in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft and he immediately became a starter on the offensive line. He wound up playing 11 seasons and 148 games, all of them starts, and emerged as a mainstay of the team’s offensive line.

Havenstein was limited to seven games in 2025 due to an ankle injury. It marked the second consecutive season the Wisconsin product missed a significant number of games due to physical issues.

Ultimately, Havenstein will be best remembered for being part of the Rams team that won Super Bowl LVI. He played in 15 games that season, as well as four in the playoffs.
