Los Angeles Rams legendary pass-rusher Aaron Donald announced his retirement from professional football on Friday. Donald retires as one of the best players at his position all time. The 32-year-old was the Rams' 13th overall pick in the 2014 draft out of Pittsburgh, and he had a phenomenal career in his 10 NFL seasons, which all came with the Rams. Donald was named the Defensive Player of the Year four different times, including in his rookie season in 2014 and he was also named to the Pro Bowl in every season of his career while earning eight first-team All-Pro selections. He won the Super Bowl with LA in 2021 and was reportedly considering retirement after that. Donald will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer after racking up 111 career sacks, 543 tackles (340 solo), 176 tackles for loss, 260 QB hits, 21 passes defended 24 forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries in 154 regular season-games.
