After a decade of dominance in the NFL, Aaron Donald, the most accomplished defensive lineman of his generation, has announced his retirement. The three-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year made the surprising announcement on social media, bringing an end to his illustrious 10-year career with the Los Angeles Rams.
Donald, who was drafted by the Rams in 2014, leaves behind a legacy of excellence. The Pittsburgh native was selected for 10 Pro Bowls, earned eight All-Pro first team honors, and won the league's top defensive player award three times (2017, 2018, 2020).
