Aaron Donald and Rams fans have at least one thing in common: They both hate the 49ers. Donald is a professional so he can’t completely speak his mind the way fans can on Twitter, but the three-time Defensive Player of the Year didn’t exactly hold back when asked how he feels about the Rams’ division rival.
He told NFL Network that he has “no love” at all toward the 49ers and strongly dislikes them.
“I dislike the Niners. I don’t like the Niners at all, they don’t like us,” he said. “It’s just the rivals. Every time we play it’s a dog fight. That’s how it is. No love at all towards them guys. I really dislike them and we’ll see them twice this year.”

One more from @AaronDonald97, stating the obvious.

The Rams-49ers rivalry heated up last season after San Francisco swept Los Angeles for the third straight year in the regular season, but the Rams got their revenge when it mattered most. They beat the 49ers in the NFC title game, ending their six-game losing streak to San Francisco and punching their ticket to the Super Bowl.
The 49ers have frustrated Donald in recent years, holding him to just one sack in his last five games against them. That probably just adds to his hatred toward them, knowing how difficult it’s been to bring down Jimmy Garoppolo and their other quarterbacks.
