""What a ride it's been!" Havenstein wrote in a post on Instagram. "I can look back on my career and smile knowing I have given everything I had and more to the game I love. "In saying that, I am officially retiring from the NFL." Havenstein, the longest-tenured Rams player on the roster last season, thanked his teammates and coaches, the Rams organization and his parents and wife for their support."
"The 6-foot-8 Havenstein, grew up in Maryland and was a second-round pick by the Rams out of Wisconsin in 2015. He started 13 games as a rookie, and then moved with the team from St. Louis to Los Angeles. Havenstein started 148 regular-season games and 13 playoff games, including the Rams' victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium to cap the 2021 season."
