Vince Wilfork was an elite interior lineman with terrible stats because all he did was eat up 2-3 lineman at a time. Richard Seymour was a DE with terrible stats that ate up 2-3 blockers every play. Donald is one of the greatest at the position, but y'all got short memories.

The Seahawks website I follow made a post in rejoice at his retirement for not having to play him twice a year anymore. That’s how good he is.

This man could’ve been given MVP in 2018 and I think nobody would’ve really argued.

The QB yelling oh my gosh was great haha

Greatest DT ever.

10:45 Ramsey fell down and Chase was wide open. Thank god for Donald saving the game.

Like you said, as a lifelong ram fan who remembers AD getting drafted, i fully get it. Let him walk off on top, healthy, to go live his life. Hopefully we still get to see him around the team in the future, but he gave us more than we coulda asked for. Give it time, like 10+ years for the recency bias to go away, and the respect for this man will be on another planet, people dont understand just how good he really was.

Did I hear "DeJaveon Clowney"?

Well done dude! Great vid. Sundays will not be the same

Well done on the video dude thankyou

most feared with so many rules against defense, well Done Donald.

My favorite player of all time sad to see ya retire AD but you’ve solidified your greatness 💙

This is a great love letter! Gonna miss you AD!

Great video, dude.

Crazy to think that if he had started his rookie year and not gotten injured in the 2022-2023 season he would've probably been on the All-Pro Team *every single year he was in the NFL.*

I learned early on you couldn’t be mad at this man’s dominance. You just had to accept it was gonna happen to your team, like some taboo field condition

He is definitely the LT of his generation. An absolute freak physically, exceptional technically and a ice cold killer mindset on the field.

Thanks for the memories king 🏆

It’s a rarity in sports to have your favorite team have an all-time great player during the peak of their powers. Like you, I’m a life-long Rams fan, but too young to remember the GSOT Rams, so most of my life growing up they were bad/mediocre. Since AD showed up, it’s like a brand new franchise. Will never take for granted watching him dominate on defense, week after week, like only a handful of players in league history have. Just so lucky this legend played every down with the horns on his helmet. Thank you AD, for everything. Get that #99 in the rafters. Like you said, the greatest Ram ever.

He was just built different first ballot Hall Of Famer for sure

AD is 1 of 1. Dude was putting up better numbers against double and triple teams than guys that were going one on one.

I had no idea he ran a 4.6 Jesus Christ 😮

Felt weird at the beginning not seeing him get doable teamed.

I really wish we had magical capabilities to bring NFL rules back to like the early 90s and bring all time teams into play (whichever team you made the biggest impact on you are there, it would be fun to watch those games because most teams would be stacked and all close with eachother.

You had me right up until he said he was the best St. Louis ram. That distinction goes to either Kurt Warner or Marshall Faulk. But Aaron Donald is the greatest LA ram ever.

Aaton Donald is a great derewnsive tackel, no doubt. Better than Merlin Olsen?! Did you ever see Merlin Olsen play. I did.

I thought you were a New York fan? Or is that someone else

If you know how recruit star ratings work its not a surprise at all he wasnt a 5 star. The biggest knock on Donald has always been that hes undersized for the position. A lot of emphasis is put on guys being ideal nfl size and speed for their rankings.

The ratings are a pretty unreliable ranking system. How many guys have we seen become one of, if not the greatest at their position and they didn’t fit the “traditional mold” for their position or they were low draft picks/undrafted? Tom Brady, John Randle, Aaron Donald, Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, Night Train Lane, Antonio Gates, Adam Vinatieri, etc

Mean Joe Greene

8 minutes in and I haven't heard Warren Sapp's name. Who was a massive inside d-lineman with freak athleticism that got after the qb. Weird you missed on the best comparison to Donald. I'm gonna keep watching, but c'mon man. You're usually on the spot with these.

If your a rams this is a sad day The rest off the league thank goodness

Everyone always talks about the double and triple teams… for me I’ve never seen an offense get the ball out of their quarterbacks hands faster than playing AD

I played football and personally I think if Warren Sapp in a 3-4 defense it would be the same numbers or better
