Rodney Harrison dropped a massive piece of news just before kickoff of Super Bowl LVI, saying Aaron Donald would strongly consider retiring if the Rams beat the Bengals. Well, the Rams did beat Cincinnati, 23-20, raising questions about whether Donald really is prepared to call it a career.
After the game, he was asked about the possibility of walking away from football, but he sidestepped those questions – both during his postgame press conference and on the field immediately following the win.
“I’m just in the moment right now,” Donald said. “I’m enjoying this with my family. I got my kid. I promised my daughter this when she was 5 years old to play in the confetti. She got to do that today. I’m just in the moment right now. I’m gonna enjoy this with my teammates, with my family and I’m just gonna be in the moment and enjoy this today – a couple days, how about that? So, it’s a blessing.”
