A lot of Los Angeles Rams members had iconic outfits for their Super Bowl parade. General manager Les Snead wore a hilarious, custom NSFW shirt, and Cooper Kupp sported a Black Mamba Kobe Bryant jersey.
Veteran Andrew Whitworth decided to go the customized route and honor one of his fellow teammates in the process. The offensive tackle wore a custom Kupp MVP t-shirt to the Rams' celebration. The Athletic tweeted pictures of the hilarious shirt.

The star wide receiver looks unrecognizable in the picture Whitworth chose for his celebratory shirt. The white t-shirt has āSuper Bowl MVPā on the top, with a photo of Kupp in high school as the focus.
Before he was the Super Bowl MVP, Kupp was once a young receiver in Yakima, Washington. Washington SportsNetwork interviewed the rising star during the preseason of his senior year, which is where this picture came from. The full, over 11-minute long interview can be found here.
There's no doubt that Whitworth paused the video while Kupp was in the middle of a sentence, since he decided to use one of the least flattering frames from the entire video.
It's unclear whether or not Whitworth will be ārunning it backā with the Rams for a repeat next season. However, one thing's for sure: the veteran and MVP have a special relationship.
Tuesday, Kupp tweeted this photo of the duo just moments after the Rams won the Super Bowl.
Exceptional end to a beautiful journey. pic.twitter.com/YoZP6X3q2m
