While Havenstein’s career ends without a Pro Bowl season on his resume, he was a crucial cog in the Rams’ success under head coach Sean McVay. He was a member of seven playoff teams, four NFC West champions, started in two Super Bowls and was the 2021 Super Bowl LVI champion.
All told, Havenstein’s career saw him play in 148 games — all starts — over his 11 seasons.
He was a member of Pro Football Focus’ Top 101 squad three times – 2018 (83.3 overall grade), 2020 (80.6), 2021 (83.4).
Warren McClendon filled in at right tackle for Havenstein, and the 2023 NFL Draft fifth-round pick performed well. Whether McClendon is a permanent replacement remains to be seen.
A second-round pick in 2015, Havenstein played the Rams’ final season in St. Louis. Louis.
Although injuries prevented him from playing in the playoffs this year, he was a constant with the team.
“I got a lot of love for this building, for this team, for the room,” Havenstein said, via Rams.com’s Stu Jackson on Jan. 26. “When I was young, guys were helping me and so it’s something that I could return the favor and just do what I can. I just wanted to work, whether it was me on the court or hitting Puka on the sideline or any sniff I could do out on the sideline, to help. what I wanted to do.”
