Donald, at his apex, was the best defensive player I've ever seen. I don't remember Reggie in his prime or it might be him.
But since about 1994 when I can really remember football players a bit better, nobody even really approaches Donald. Maybe peak JJ Watt. The way he was able to destroy offenses while simultaneously being 100% assignment sound and just not taking plays off was really incredible. People want to compare Jones to Donald but I really don't see a comparison. Jones is a fantastic interior pass rusher and a probable hall of famer in his own right. Aaron Donald was something different. Greatest to ever play his position and one of the best defensive players of all time.

Side note - any reporting on the cap consequences? Because they could be catastrophic.
I think that would accelerate about $40-$50 million in dead money from his signing bonus onto their cap. And I don't think he'd have any obligation to give that signing bonus back (though sometimes teams will pursue a pro-rated portion of it; most don't). This could really barbecue LAR. And if so - good. **** you, Stan Kroenke.

You guys think he’s the best Ram ever?
Deacon Jones? Eric Dickerson? Marshall Faulk? Kurt Warner? Maybe recency bias, but I’d have to go with Donald.

Lineman have it the hardest of any NFL players. These guys have to eat a shit load of food and hit their macros while hitting the gym. Being that big and strong doesn’t happen naturally. JJ Watt said that retiring was such a relief not bc of working out but bc of the constant food intake. It’s so much work staying that size.

Prime Donald vs Jones. Who you taking?
Keep in mind Jones was vital in all three titles |

Question is where he is all time in NFL history for defensive players. I have him behind LT, White, and possibly Jones (if you factor in postseason play) |
