Retiring Aaron Donald was the face of the Rams and the reason they hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after Super Bowl LVI. Never has there been a bigger void to fill.
For years he had remained hidden, lost underneath a giant helmet, buried in a defensive line. He was a star who behaved like a stunt man, doing the dirty work, punishing his body, disappearing into the scrum. He was the most important Ram that nobody knew, the greatest player that nobody saw, the biggest force with the fewest cheers. Then, finally, it happened. The deciding play of Super Bowl LVI happened. Aaron Donald happened.
“There will never be another Aaron Donald,” Rams general manager Les Snead said. He symbolized the Rams' joy after their 2022 victory, tearing off his helmet and pointing to his ring finger after his final chase-down of Burrow. He later served as the loudest voice in the Rams' giddy victory parade, commanding the post-parade podium shirtless while drinking Champagne. “I’ve been having a little fun tonight so if I slur my words I apologize,” he told the crowd.
