Rams

Former Rams DT Aaron Donald was asked if he thought of himself as the greatest defender ever but he wasnโ€™t going to discredit the legends who he looked up to.

โ€œI think in my era yes, but everybody was different,โ€ Donald said, via the Ramsโ€™ YouTube. โ€œYouโ€™ve got guys that were great that I looked up to like Ray Lewis that were the greatest in their time, Polamalu a Pittsburgh guy, Lawrence Taylor. Different eras, itโ€™s hard to say, because the game changed so much.โ€
