The Rams superstar retires as one of the best defensive players ever. 'There will never be another Aaron Donald,' GM Les Snead said.
He's different. That's the best way former Los Angeles Rams defensive line coach Eric Henderson could describe his good friend Aaron Donald, who announced his retirement from football on Friday. 'The best part about him is the human being,' Henderson said when asked what makes Donald one of the best to ever play. 'He makes my job easy because of the way he was raised. I always want to just thank his parents, his mom and his dad, for raising such an awesome young man.
Even more startling for a defensive tackle, Donald is No. 3 in league history in tackles for loss with 176. At 6-foot-1 and 280 pounds, the Pittsburgh product changed the way defensive tackles are viewed because of his ability to create plays from the interior of the line. His combination of strength and quickness as a defensive tackle was unique and unmatched, forcing offensive lines to double-team him on virtually every play.
