Summary

Cam Jordan is back in the NFL Media podcast studio in Los Angeles, joined by Super Bowl Champion and Thursday Night Football analyst Andrew Whitworth. The two go head-to-head on whether offensive linemen deserve their own individual award, with Whitworth making the case for the big men in the trenches. He also shares a behind-the-scenes story from the night he won Walter Payton Man of the Year, including a last-minute scramble and how a police escort through L.A. traffic got them to the show barely in time. Cam and Whit then break down why they’re not fans of the potential “tush push” ban and explain why the Eagles continue to dominate with it. Whitworth also reflects on his recent induction into the East West Shrine Bowl Hall of Fame and what it means to be selected for enshrinement into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this June, crediting his roots in Monroe, Louisiana. Plus, he shares the time he almost lost his friendship with Ryan Fitzpatrick… over dyeing his beard!

Off the Edge with Cam Jordan is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.
