Aaron Donald plays one of the most physically demanding positions in football, battling in the trenches with 330-pound offensive linemen for 40-plus snaps per game. Donald is so powerful and quick that he doesn’t get pushed around in there, but playing defensive tackle and getting double-teamed most of the time can take a toll on one’s body.
That’s what makes it so amazing that Donald has never missed a single game in his career due to injury. He’s played 138 of a possible 140 regular-season games in his nine years, but the only two games he missed were in 2017 when he held out for a new contract.
