For all the young kids who will watch this in the future here’s some perspective for just how good Aaron Donald was this year. During this season Patrick mahomes became only the second quarterback to throw for 5000 yards and 50 touchdowns in a season and was both the MVP and Offensive Player of the year. Donald was still voted the number one player on the NFL top 100 and no one complained

Damn I forgot Mahomes did that. Shows you how dominant AD really was

"I played against Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor and let me tell you that Aaron Donald is the best defensive player I have ever seen." Troy Aikman I think when Aaron Donald was drafted, Coach Jeff Fisher had a hand in that pick. Fisher is a defensive coach and understands it starts up front in the trenches, and the Rams where in rebuilding stage at that time. Either way what a player. Definitely going to be a HOF legend.

Believe it or not but, Jeff fisher and Les were about to draft Johnny Manziel. Coach Mike Waufle was praising Donald and said we need to draft Aaron Donald.

Im a bills fan, but I miss that rams team so much. The uniforms, todd gurley, the crushing defensive line was so fun to watch. Congrats Aaron Donald. The best to ever do it.

I'm not a Rams fan but I still miss those uniforms. Something about both the home and away versions felt so visually appealing.

Happy Retirement, Aaron. Canton will be awaiting you. 2018 was the year for LA.

​@@charlesburroughs9770 Vince wilfork was more of a nose tackle so it's hard to even compare him to any dt. He plays a completely different position. Sapp was not nearly the pass rusher that Donald was. Randle I can understand tho

Double teamed on literally every play and still had 20.5 sacks 🥶

This the man Skip Bayless said doesn't jump off his screen 🤦🏽‍♂️..Imagine saying a DT with 111 career sacks doesn't jump off your screen..Worst take in NFL history 😂

Congratulations to him on his legendary career

One of the great defensive linemen in the history of the NFL. His presence on the field will be missed

Dang were gonna miss him he got his ring that he wanted enjoy retirement

And some fans were trying to discount his DPOY saying he lined up on the edge most of the time, yet he's clearly at DT.

One of the best seasons ever by a defensive player. Aaron Donald is one of the best defensive linemen to ever play the game. Enjoy your retirement.

The fact that he did this as a DT is the scary part. Happy retirement

Showed 1 highlight vs the Pats in SB53. That was his best play in that game. Damm, Pats Oline was something else.

His celebration sending kisses is my fav part. So ruthless and so lovely at the same time.

one if the best to do it simply

Im so hurt but happy for him, there will never be another 99 😭

this 2018 year was very great for aaron donald i mean single season sack like 1984 mark gesutanu or 2000 michael strahan that’s crazy

One of the best seasons in nfl history

One of the all time greats. Possible the greatest defensive tackle of all time.

Wouldve loved to see him and Larry Allen battle in the treanches! Talk about a heavyweight fight!

I want to cry

GOAT defensive tackle✅ The best defensive player,of his era✅Super bowl champion✅First ballot hall of famer✅Happy retirement Aaron!#99

One of if not the best defensive player of all time I hope he enjoys retirement but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed he’s gone

As a rams fan THANK YOU AD! Also watched all 20.5 sacks that year! I spent his entire career watching him and man was it and awesome sight to see every Sunday. Never have and never will watch a DT they I watched AD play DT! Congrats man! You deserve it all! Greatest defensive player this game has ever seen! And that’s not just me saying that!

One of the greatest to ever do it 💯

As a University of Pittsburgh alumnus and Pitt football season ticket holder I had the privilege of watching Aaron Donald in his collegiate career. My favorite play was when he tackled both the Duke QB and RB in the backfield at the same time, one in each arm. Congrats on a great career, Super Bowl ring and future hall of fame!

Strip-sacked Mahomes twice in one game in Mahomes's break-out MVP season. (What a great game that was.) That really speaks to Donald's dominance that year.

I really miss those 17 and 18 rams, both offense and defense was just so much fun to watch.

Absolutely It was so sudden about Aaron Donald’s retirement but man what a helluva of a career he had playing all the seasons with the Rams and when you finally got that Super Bowl in 2021 it was like a big weight had left his shoulders, and he deserves that Super Bowl ring. No doubt in my mind he will be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Along with Warren Sapp, AD is the most dominant DT that I can remember and definitely the best of this decade.

As a saints fan, he is the reason the rams won that nfccg. only time he didnt get doubled was those rushing attempts you saw. But that left suh 1on1 to wreck shop on brees. MASSIVE RESPECT AD.

I’ll see you in Canton Aaron! Congratulations on an amazing career!

Got paid, got a ring, enjoy your retirement.

Defensive🐐

The season was remembered for the offense but the defense only got better as the season went along. The playoffs were a defensive spectacle including the Superbowl. Thank you for the years of service, AD. Even when the team was terrible I'm glad the man stuck around and got his ring.

Can’t believe he’s retired… 😢

That defense was loaded!

0:26 is an otherworldly play. He just explodes towards the QB

He got us a championship im forever grateful 99🐐

Was the best nfl player for a. While THANK YOU Aaron Donald ❤

Seahawks fans are happy

Wow, what an incredible talent! As a long time Rams fan I throughly enjoyed watching Aaron Donald’s exploits. His talent is other worldly. Obviously sorry he won’t be playing for the Rams any longer but congrats to him on a spectacular career and best wishes for a long and happy retirement. Looking forward to seeing his HOF induction ceremony in 2029.

3:29 most underrated highlight in this reel. Blows up the line and smashes into Kamara like he wasn't even there...

Trying to come to terms with how fast life is going and all these damn changes.

Since this is a place full of people who really watch football and appreciate the history I have a question. Do we think Donald deserves a statue and is he a top 3-5 defensive player all time? I say no to both but he’s definitely top 10 a first ballot hall of famer and an all decade player.

Thank you legend

See this is some BA BA BA BULLLLSHTTT...Being a Die hard Bengal Lifer my whole life An watching Geno atkins basically be the 1st Short strong DT that gets High Sack #s THEn Watchin U Aarond Donald [Say u looked up to Geno atkins an styled yo game after him]Basically Same Build An Type of game Take It to a WHOOOOLLEEE Nother Level that u took it to...MAAAAN IM PISSED AN IM HATING 😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️ But u can't hate Greatness An u were DIFFERENT DIFFERENT The man The Myth the LEGEND 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him lose when he gets one on one. He is clearly one of the best DTs all time.

Jj Watt, Luke Kuechly, Aaron Donald: makes me sad these guys are retired 😢

Im sure since he came in the league he been seein double teams. But it was after this year Donald required a double team almost EVERY PLAY and sometimes they triple teamed him! I can see why he feels like the fire ain’t there no more he was so dominant they sucked the fun out the game for him, but what else are they to do 🤷🏽‍♂️ One of the smallest on the line but the strongest in the league. Once every generation type of dominance

I LOVE those all white uniforms ! Congrats to Aaron Donald on an unblockable career.

Nfl needs to give stl a team back, Donald was drafted in st.Louis and kroenke robbed all of us out of a potential ring and arguably the greatest defensive player ever.

Im afraid we are never gonna see a pass rush like this again 😢

Mean Joe, The Manster, AD.......... the gold standard for DTs

Rams going to miss this future hof and legend

Those Unis were way harder than the current ones

One of the greatest players to ever play the game

bro didnt get his first sack that year until week 4 and ended with a dub5 is crazy

To be his size and that damn quick is frightening lol

This mf strong asf. Bro slung down LeGarrette Blount like he a little kid. LEGARRETTE BLOUNT bro 😂

2019 Rams DT room is ridiculous

Got his money, ring and most importantly his health

Twenty and a half sacks as an interior defensive lineman is absolutely ridiculous

I don’t even play madden but if they have Arron for there next cover AS THEY SHOULD I’d buy even if I don’t have the console for it 💯🙏

This dude will be missed

the greatest ever

At least a third of these i thought he was unblocked he was in the backfield so fast

I just can’t believe he didn’t break the record in that last game. He ate the 49ers line alive the first game and got his 20.5 sack 12 minutes into the first quarter. He really couldn’t get two more?

THE REAL AD of la ! please UNretire !

More highlights here! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXdhu82MiKrHhs4.htmlsi=d140RLSqil5VEfff

When Mike Singletary was an asst coach with the Rams, he was watching film of Aaron Donald. The HOF line backer remarked "I've never seen ANYTHING like this". I'm not sure if the compliment gets any higher than from the CENTER piece of the 85' Bears defense.

Thank You Aaron Donald And I Wish You The Best In Your Retirement

Since Pittsburgh has the cap space, and they’re defying years of tradition, maybe they should go after AD… for a year…

“Dad how good was prime Aaron Donald”

Reggie White good !

Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

There has never been a player I look for more on defense than Aaron Donald this MF so good I'm happy he retired so I don't gotta see him against my teams o-line

If you can split Aaron Donald into two then you’ll have 2 hall of famers
