Hearing "Aaron Donald the rookie" during those first few clips was surreal. Hope he has a great retirement, I'm sure every qb in the nfl breathed a sigh of relief
True, but having the Super Bowl MVP cast in the 3rd quarter is a crime imo. Should have at least been coMVP. I couldn't believe when I learned this fact. One of the greatest players ever! We will miss you!! Horns up!!!!
@@Mr.Grinch_Realterrified OF your players FOR his insane strength?! 😳👀🤣🤷🏽♂️ You stated it backwards! You mean terrified FOR your players, OF(or DUE TO) his strength
Poor Russell had to take the worst of AD more than any other QB lmao. no other QB in the NFL got sacked more than him, by a lot. Every game vs the Seahawks Russell was always under pressure, it was like watching a pitbull chase around a cat everytime they played
His back-to-back clutch plays on 3-1 and 4-1 was two of the most clutch defensive plays I’ve ever seen. Especially the last one, considering how Chase broke Jalen Ramsey’s ankles moments before Donald got to Burrow to swing him around, and force the incompletion. He literally won the game for us, and I genuinely don’t think that we would’ve won had he not been there, especially with how Ramsey was getting cooked by Chase all night
Will go down as my favorite all time Rams player. I’ve never seen a player dominate and have the work ethic to be better while already being great. Dude helped change the franchise from a laughing stock to getting them a title. Thank you Aaron for everything you did for the Rams, can’t wait to see your HOF speech!
Thanks for the memories big guy, you're the one who made me fall absolutely in love with the game and become a fan of defense. Gonna miss seeing you annihilating triple blocks, but I'm so glad you got a ring and stuck with my favorite team. Thanks, big guy!
As a Seahawks fan, it was tough seeing Aaron Donald wreak havoc on our quarterbacks year after year. However, witnessing the excellence of AD's performances at the highest level was truly a privilege. He's a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer.
I remember all these games. And rewatching the highlights. Buying the jerseys. Yelling at the TV. "Get him Aaron!" When the Rams were not good to winning the Super Bowl. It was a fun and quick 10 years. Love that guy. Already miss him. Enjoy Retirement ADMVP99. Rams legend.
AD the first dude i seen in awhile to be top 3 in the top 100 especially as a defensive player his stats and plays are insane. good to see him win a chip. great to see greatness.
Ram. Champion. Legend. Enjoy your retirement 99. Thank you for everything you did for my favorite team and us fans. I'll never forget the game-clinching pressures on Burrow and Garoppolo
Time sure goes by fast, I remember like it was yesterday, studying the draft class he was a part of. A huge insult he went as low as he did, his college tape is arguably the most dominant at DT ever. An undersized DT with the speed to slip by OL, but also the power to tackle two players at the same time. Thank you AD, from all of us in LA, it was a pleasure.
I’ve been a rams fan my entire life, 26 years. I didn’t get to enjoy the greatest show on turf. Thank you Aaron Donald, we wouldn’t have that Super Bowl without you. I shed tears like a big baby
At first, I was having a hard time realizing which player Donald was on the field but then I saw his explosiveness off the line and then I didn’t have to figure it out anymore 😂😂
This Tank of a man is a time capsule of success, taking down all the legends he grew up watching, then to dominate at a supreme level. If only Rams took Mack too!
It's kinda crazy how legendary his pass rushing is, but his most looked over ability is his run stopping. I've seen legendary pass rushers and run stoppers respectfully, but never both to a degree that makes him a menace in any situation like Aaron Donald.
10 seasons doesn’t seem very long, but he was around back with Peyton and Ben were still playing and the Rams had the golden horns on the helmets. That’s crazy, he really might have been the best DE ever. Hope he has a cool retirement
@@LiamDeegeget off the gear buddy. You seriously need help if you think Pickett could even polish Wilson’s shoes. The guy is a sook and proved it more than once instead of trying to prove he should’ve been QB1. Good riddance because he ain’t got ‘Steeler heart’
You know greatness is unfolding, when as a rookie by your 3rd game, you're facing double and triple teams. I've never seen a DT, hell even many true DE with Donald's closing speed. He got there so fast that Kyler Murray half the time didn't even bother trying to run away. Best to ever do it at that position. Happy retirement AD!!!
Donald changed his position. DT's used to be heavier, even the late Keith Jackson called them big uglies. But with him they started to be faster and have more muscle. What he did was seen and expected from edge rushers, but he did everything they did (and more) in the middle of the line
Stop. There is no Lawrence Taylor of any other generation. Aaron Donald is the 2nd greatest defensive player in the history of football. But 2nd best of all time is still nowhere close to Lawrence Taylor.
Even as a 12 who suffered every time this guy lined up against the seahawks, he was always a pleasure to watch and one of the greatest to ever do it. I'm grateful for living in the age of AD, Brady and many more.
The collective sigh of relief from all the other NFC West teams just goes to show how absolutely dominant this guy was. Top 3 DT ever. Double and triple teamed regularly and still got to the QB. Insane talent.
As a rams fan TAHNK YOU AARON DONALD. I’ve had the opportunity to watch you dominate from day one and will truly be missed. Good luck in your next life! And thanks for the chip!
Supernatural work ethic and dedication. A true soldier since his time in STL, gon miss this workhorse. He played the game efficiently and perfectly because he loved his job. But now I understand clearly while its time for retirement. Its been real, all Imma say. Top 5 all time for this STL/LA HOFer. Once again homey, we appreciate you and thank you. #AD99 #314standup #SBLVIChampion👊🏿💍🏆 #Ramily 🟦🐏🟨
He just made most offensive linemen, just insignificant.. He made it look too easy! But, his preparation and techniques as well as his outstanding drive for perfection! Will possibly never be duplicated !!! He's earned his recognition and praises as well as his fine retirement to come! Best wishes and true blessings to him and his family!
I’ll miss you brother been watching you since 2015 and never a dull moment I was watching you at like 8 years old and I grew up watching you I love you bro enjoy your much deserved retirement 🎉
3x defensive player of the year and 8x first team all pro. Aaron Donald is one of the greatest defensive players of all time, he belongs in the LT and Primetime category
The last St. Louis rams player went to the superbowl became a Champion all time all pro stout throughout his career as a St. Louis native and still rams fan man you will be missed in the nfl but enjoy your retirement
Truly the greatest defensive player of all time. You can take Aaron Donald & plug him in any era and he'd still be great. I wish he got to play for my Raiders for at least One year. Big respects to the GOAT.
Donald was just one of those "once in a lifetime" players that comes along every now and then to redefine what absolute dominance at a specific position really looks like
Greatest defensive lineman in the history of the NFL. I used to dream about a quarterbacks greatest nightmare... Lawrence Taylor playing along with Aaron Donald on defense.
When he downsized and got faster is when he started to get ridiculous because he came in the league 285 and then downsized to 265 and kept his strength to become quicker and faster
Aaron Donald is the greatest DT of all time. I won’t say greatest defensive player I’ll give that to LT , but AD is definitely top 5 defensive players of all time
Hearing "Aaron Donald the rookie" during those first few clips was surreal. Hope he has a great retirement, I'm sure every qb in the nfl breathed a sigh of relief

Aaron Donald is not just a HOF’er but is up there with LT, Ray Lewis,
Prime and others on the D side and is one of the the greatest of greats
I’ve been watching football since I was 6 years old, and in my humble opinion, AD is the best football player that I have ever seen!!!
I’m not a rams fan but this dude was the best DT of my lifetime so far.
What a career for Aaron Donald he was an absolute beast! Definitely a future hall of famer
One of the greatest! Definitely will be missed. Raider Nation wishes you a very good retirement GOAT 🐐

Russell Wilson gotta have PTSD from Aaron Donald.

Tosses him like a rag doll. Same with the one on Brees.

Stop. There is no Lawrence Taylor of any other generation. Aaron Donald is the 2nd greatest defensive player in the history of football.
But 2nd best of all time is still nowhere close to Lawrence Taylor.
The NFL had to change the rules of the game and the pay structure for offensive lineman because of Lawrence Taylor.
Man that dude makes the game so much fun
WELL MISS YOU AARON EVEN THOUGH UR THE SOUL REASON MY TEAM LOST THE SUPER BOWL WE WILL MISS YOU!! ❤️❤️
AD wrecked everyone's favorite teams at least once. No Chiefs fan will ever forget the MNF shootout and the smackdown he gave us.
Yes. That game had it all. Too bad someone had to lose.
that second cam newton sack my LORD! i will miss AD so much for my rams. thank you #99 the true defensive GOAT!
Bro was slamming quarterbacks since day one 😮💨💪🏼
My favorite is when he stopped running after that fumble pickup to scrap
Crazy how many hall of fame QBs he sacked in HIS ROOKIE SEASON
End of an era 😤 grateful he blessed us with his greatness
Kyler Murray and Russ were going through hell when they seen Aaron Donald come through that o line
he made them change the way the played, they were terrified of him
He is without a doubt the best player to do it in his position this century, but I’m also extremely bias. Love you AD!!! A champ got his ring!!!
Even as a 12 who suffered every time this guy lined up against the seahawks, he was always a pleasure to watch and one of the greatest to ever do it. I'm grateful for living in the age of AD, Brady and many more.
The things he was able to do as an interior lineman were insane.
The collective sigh of relief from all the other NFC West teams just goes to show how absolutely dominant this guy was. Top 3 DT ever. Double and triple teamed regularly and still got to the QB. Insane talent.
I am fortunate that I got to witness his greatness. There will never be another Aaron Donald.
What a Goat im just happy to have witnessed his greatness! Ram nation is in somber mood.
Aaron Donald looks like he should be in movies. Somebody needs to make him the next movie hero.

With LT at linebacker, Donald in the middle of the line and Watt as edge rusher a defense would suffer no points
The amount of times seeing Russell getting sacked by donald is pretty funny 😂
I’m not a rams fan at all but I don’t think a lot of people realize what a dominant force this guy was.
Easily top 3 in his position all time
