Chicago Bears[edit]

Whitehair was selected in the second round, 56th overall by the Chicago Bears in the 2016 NFL draft.[7] After a season-ending injury to 2015 third round pick Hroniss Grasuintraining camp, Whitehair started at left guard during the preseason. Whitehair was then moved to the starting center position after the team signed veteran guard Josh Sitton. He went on to start all 16 games at center and was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team.

In 2018, Whitehair played every offensive snap and was named to the 2019 Pro Bowl, becoming the first Bears center since Olin Kreutz to play in the Pro Bowl.[8][9] He was the only Bears player on either side of the ball to participate in every down.

Before the 2019 season, Whitehair moved to left guard, while that position's starter, James Daniels, shifted to center.[10] On September 1, Whitehair signed a five-year contract extension worth $52.5 million with $27.5 million guaranteed.[11] In November, with the offense struggling in the midst of a four-game losing streak, Whitehair returned to center.[12]

Whitehair was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on November 6, 2020,[13] and activated on November 16.[14]

In 2022, Whitehair suffered a knee injury in Week 4 and was placed on injured reserve on October 5, 2022.[15] He was activated on November 4.

Whitehair was released from the Chicago Bears on February 15, 2024.[16]

Las Vegas Raiders[edit]

On April 15, 2024, Whitehair signed a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.[17]
