Aaron Donald announces his retirement after a standout 10-year career with the Rams
apnews.com/article/aaron-donald-retires-rams-87dc21efe0449a4d29f587e743482c65
Quick Glance: Aaron Donald concludes remarkable career with the Rams
- The standout defensive lineman of his generation, Aaron Donald, has retired after a stellar 10-year career with the Rams. His retirement decision was surprisingly announced through social media. Despite his relatively smaller stature compared to many top defensive players, Donald utilized his exceptional athleticism to create havoc in opposing offenses throughout his career.
- After being honored as the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, Donald reached the pinnacle of his fame when the Rams franchise relocated from St. Louis back to Los Angeles in 2016. He played a significant role in the Rams' Super Bowl victory three years later, including forcing a pivotal incomplete pass from Joe Burrow.
- While 32-year-old Donald predominantly led a quiet life off the field with his wife and four children, his evident brilliance and McVay's coaching prowess stand as the key factors in the Rams' rise in the sports realm of Los Angeles since the team's return. Under McVay's leadership, the Rams achieved six winning seasons, five playoff appearances, three NFC West titles, two Super Bowl appearances, and a championship.
- Donald amassed 543 career tackles, involving 176 tackles for loss, and twenty-four forced fumbles. Demonstrating remarkable durability, he only missed six games due to injuries across his 10-year career. His performance, work ethic, and passion will continue to inspire his team, coaches, and athletes worldwide.
Aaron Donald's resume is UNREAL 😳
He made the Pro Bowl in every season of his NFL career.
