After an incredibly successful NFL playing career that spanned over 10 seasons, during which he earned Pro Bowl honors in every season that he played for the Los Angeles Rams, superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald has decided to call it a career.
Donald feels as if there’s nothing left for him to prove and has flirted with retiring ever since the Rams won the Super Bowl back in 2022, but now feels it is the right time to walk away, with the distinction of being one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history.

After an incredibly successful NFL playing career that spanned over 10 seasons, during which he earned Pro Bowl honors in every season that he played for the Los Angeles Rams, superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald has decided to call it a career.
Donald feels as if there’s nothing left for him to prove and has flirted with retiring ever since the Rams won the Super Bowl back in 2022, but now feels it is the right time to walk away, with the distinction of being one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history.
Along with being without a doubt a first-ballot Hall of Famer and in the conversation for being the greatest defensive player ever, Donald grew a special bond with head coach Sean McVay during their time together in Los Angeles.
Donald recently talked about the relationship he has with McVay and how it goes well beyond football via the team’s Twitter account.
“The relationship, the bond we got is special,” Donald said. “It’s beyond football.”
With Donald heading into retirement and likely headed for the Hall of Fame sooner rather than later due to what he was able to accomplish on the football field with the Rams, Los Angeles will miss his presence on the defensive line as he’s a player that is literally irreplaceable.
Along with being an eight-time First-Team All-Pro, Donald won NFL Defensive Player of the Year three times over the course of his incredible career while also recording 111.0 sacks.
