Aaron Donald has as strong a resume for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as anyone in the NFL, and it got even better on Friday. The Associated Press announced its All-Pro teams for the 2023 season and Donald was once again a first-team selection.
It’s the eighth time Donald has been voted a first-team All-Pro, tying the record for the most ever by a defensive player. He tied Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Bruce Smith as the only defensive players to be first-team All-Pros eight times.
EIGHT All-Pro honors now for @AaronDonald97, tied with the likes of Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, and Bruce Smith for the most by any defensive player in @NFL history.

In 16 games this season (he sat out Week 18 for rest), Donald had eight sacks, 23 quarterback hits and 16 tackles for a loss. He finished with 53 total tackles, as well.
The other interior defensive lineman to be voted a first-team All-Pro this year was Chris Jones of the Chiefs.
No other Rams players made the first-team, but Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua were second-team selections – each their first time being voted All-Pros at any level.
