Aaron Donald, 4 former Rams named to Senior Bowl’s 75th Anniversary Team

The Senior Bowl has been one of the most valuable and important aspects of the pre-draft process for years, highlighting some of the best prospects in the country and propelling them up draft boards. The Rams have heavily utilized the Senior Bowl to evaluate players before the draft, landing standout prospects such as Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp, John Johnson and Greg Gaines after watching them in Mobile.

On Tuesday, the Senior Bowl announced its 75th Anniversary Team and five former Rams were selected – headlined by Donald. The Rams’ all-world pass rusher was selected at defensive tackle, along with Bryant Young and Geno Atkins.

Torry Holt was also selected at wide receiver, alongside Terrell Owens, Reggie Wayne and Hines Ward. At outside linebacker, Von Miller – who won a Super Bowl in his half-season with the Rams – was honored. At inside linebacker, it was Bobby Wagner receiving recognition next to Derrick Brooks, Brian Urlacher and Patrick Willis. And finally, Aeneas Williams was one of three cornerbacks selected; Richard Sherman and Patrick Surtain Sr. were the other two.

The 75th Anniversary Team was selected by a public online fan vote, a poll of all 32 NFL general managers and the Senior Bowl’s selection committee, so talent evaluators from the NFL had a hand in picking these players.

Donald, Holt and Williams were all selected as All-Pros during their time with the Rams, while Miller and Wagner are each All-Pros, as well. They were just selected as members of other teams, not the Rams.
