Rams

Former Rams DT Aaron Donald was asked if he thought of himself as the greatest defender ever but he wasn’t going to discredit the legends who he looked up to.

“I think in my era yes, but everybody was different,” Donald said, via the Rams’ YouTube. “Youโ€™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.”
