Aaron Donald once climbed to being considered the best player in all of football...as a defensive tackle. That is rare, and that is because he put immeasurable fear into his opponents' eyes and blocking schemes.

Thanks for the memories AD 💙
HOF 2029
A DT being named the #1 player in the league is insane
As crazy as it is he still deserves it
And the insane part was that it was near impossible to argue against him being ranked that high. AD was absolutely incredible
Alan Page chuckles
Seriously
Why
He's certainly the greatest living DT with 10 fully functioning fingers
interesting phrasing
@@StarkRavingSports JPP
@@josephthecavemanacaccia815That’s nice that you’re giving JPP his flowers but it’s not really a debate lol
Wasn't JPP edge@@josephthecavemanacaccia815
I’d say he’s the greatest living DT with two legs, two eyes, and two arms
I am so happy that he retired as a Rams without wearing any other team jersey.
Any and every fan feels the same way ❤ we love AD
😤
This dude was insane, still surprised he already called it a career but you can’t blame the man .
He got double and triple team his whole career never seen it before….. 💛💙
Vince Wilfork was an elite interior lineman with terrible stats because all he did was eat up 2-3 lineman at a time. Richard Seymour was a DE with terrible stats that ate up 2-3 blockers every play. Donald is one of the greatest at the position, but y'all got short memories.
@@patrickfoley7081 "yeh these guys with no stats got double and triple teamed a lot so AD with his insane stats while being double and triple teamed a lot doesn't mean much" I think we can identify the broken brain pretty easily
😭😭😭😭
@@andrewkelly1337yeah, its yours. Nobody said anything about stats or not being good or ANYTHING but never seen that before when obviously we have........sorry broken brain, try again kid.
Glad I got to watch his first couple seasons in person. AD is an all-time great. Definitely the greatest D-lineman of the 21st century so far.
You forgot about JJ that fast, eh? AD never could touch that. Not even in the same group. Not as a DL or as a person.
@@airbornedaddy7576 Donald played at 95% the level of prime JJ Watt but he did it for twice as long. The best ability is availability
@@airbornedaddy7576AD I’m afraid to say was much better than jj, he was the best defensive player every year but what happens to every great player, they get voters fatigue, no one wants to vote for someone 3.4 years in a row cause their doing the same thing
As a lifelong bengals fan he lives rent free in my head
The Seahawks website I follow made a post in rejoice at his retirement for not having to play him twice a year anymore.
That’s how good he is.
The QB yelling oh my gosh was great haha
This man could’ve been given MVP in 2018 and I think nobody would’ve really argued.
Like you said, as a lifelong ram fan who remembers AD getting drafted, i fully get it. Let him walk off on top, healthy, to go live his life. Hopefully we still get to see him around the team in the future, but he gave us more than we coulda asked for.
Give it time, like 10+ years for the recency bias to go away, and the respect for this man will be on another planet, people dont understand just how good he really was.
10:45 Ramsey fell down and Chase was wide open. Thank god for Donald saving the game.
Greatest DT ever.
Did I hear "DeJaveon Clowney"?
Well done dude! Great vid. Sundays will not be the same
Well done on the video dude thankyou
Great video, dude.
This is a great love letter! Gonna miss you AD!
My favorite player of all time sad to see ya retire AD but you’ve solidified your greatness 💙
Aaron Donald was one of the greats. As a packers fan I respect the hell outta him. Rams had a good one with Donald. Enjoy retirement Aaron. You’ve earned it!
All OL in the NFL…” Ma the bad man is gone” 😂
I learned early on you couldn’t be mad at this man’s dominance. You just had to accept it was gonna happen to your team, like some taboo field condition
most feared with so many rules against defense, well Done Donald.
Best defensive player ever arguably
Crazy to think that if he had started his rookie year and not gotten injured in the 2022-2023 season he would've probably been on the All-Pro Team *every single year he was in the NFL.*
With the halo music….imma cry again 😭
Lol the Halo music in the background
Top 15 overall nfl player to ever play
Period
Did you know that Donald didn't have a single sack in games played against the Eagles? Since Donald and Jason Kelce both retired this off-season they'll be eligible to go into the Hall of Fame together. Two greats.
Kelce explained why. They doubled and tripled him on every play. They respected him way too much to allow him a 1-1.
@@vinnytucks87 They doubled and tripled *and* got lucky tbh
We already know and know why. That’s old news
Justice for the STL Rams and those lovely uniforms
It’s a rarity in sports to have your favorite team have an all-time great player during the peak of their powers. Like you, I’m a life-long Rams fan, but too young to remember the GSOT Rams, so most of my life growing up they were bad/mediocre. Since AD showed up, it’s like a brand new franchise. Will never take for granted watching him dominate on defense, week after week, like only a handful of players in league history have. Just so lucky this legend played every down with the horns on his helmet. Thank you AD, for everything. Get that #99 in the rafters. Like you said, the greatest Ram ever.
Great job. Thanks. Correct. AD is one of one.
I have been a Rams fan for 43 years and have watched all games that I wasn't at in person! Aaron Donald is the greatest individual Rams player there has ever been!
Facts. Thank you, Aaron Donald 😤💪👊🔥🔥🔥
It was a privilege and honor to watch you play and lead my Rams to the Lombardi 🏆
God bless you and your family. Enjoy retirement and Canton 😎🤙🏾🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good video but I caught that “dajaveon” clowney 😂
Came to the comments for this lol. Nice spoonerism.
Thanks for the memories king 🏆
Die hard fan too man
He is definitely the LT of his generation. An absolute freak physically, exceptional technically and a ice cold killer mindset on the field.
As a hawk fan I can finally say we actually have a chance now hats off to sir you gave us no hope
He was just built different first ballot Hall Of Famer for sure
Penei Sewell wanted that smoke 😆
What about Derrick Thomas for the KC Chiefs?? The oversized coyote for a mascot? Even NeilSmith was fairly dominant in that time that still holds true today!
GOAT at Defensive Tackle, we'll definitely miss him.
I wAnted him to be a bear so bad
I’m gonna miss him
He played til 43 for me in madden damn
As a Rams fan I remember them making the playoffs at 8-8 with Sam Bradford as Qb. But there will NEVER EVER be another AD and he got what I wanted for my favorite team…a Super Bowl. Definitely gonna miss seeing 99 out on the field next season and I hope Cobie turner learned a lot from the GOAT!!!
Sam Bradford never made the playoffs. If ur referring to an 8-8 playoff berth, thats the Marc Bulger era in 2004.
Hopefully Kobie Turner can fill in that hole
I think Deacon could acknowledge this man's talent, and be proud it's a ram.
AD was a literal RAM
Teams are glad that they don't have to play against him anymore ... that's how good he is.
still so upset Love Donald , loving our Rammies!!!
Pittsburgh blood ..bunch crazy ninjas
this felt like an emplemon vid I had to keep checking to see wtf I was listening to
do we have a treat for you ruclips.net/video/_8Cnya4ShEo/видео.html
@@StarkRavingSports oh i’m already tapped in 💯 I just thought there was a collar I didn’t know about. great vid
GOAT.
I thought you were a New York fan? Or is that someone else
nobody is happier to hear this than Russell Wilson
AD is 1 of 1. Dude was putting up better numbers against double and triple teams than guys that were going one on one.
Felt weird at the beginning not seeing him get doable teamed.
As long as there’s an nfl. There will be another AD maybe not anytime soon but there will come a time when another generational talent like him emerges.
Yeah it always happens. There was never going to be another Reggie White until Aaron Donald showed up, for example.
I'm not a Rams fan but Aron Donald is a beast.
You had me right up until he said he was the best St. Louis ram. That distinction goes to either Kurt Warner or Marshall Faulk. But Aaron Donald is the greatest LA ram ever.
no doubt he has some of the most stats of all time.
🐐
Do yourself a favor and look at Donald's peak vs JJ watts. They are almost exactly the same..
Yep. And Donald’s lasted way longer
@@FicCreator27TJs in his prime still. What are you talking about 😂
JJ Watt prime was for 3 years only. AD has a higher peak prime and lasted for 10 straight seasons. GOAT
@@irlzy to say Tj isn’t still in his prime is crazy. He literally led the league in sacks while being hurt for a few games
@@DisabledScoobyDoo He clearly said JJ not TJ can you read
this could make a grown man cry
Not a real grown man🤨
fooball
i should have said foobaw
I had no idea he ran a 4.6 Jesus Christ 😮
Aaton Donald is a great derewnsive tackel, no doubt. Better than Merlin Olsen?! Did you ever see Merlin Olsen play. I did.
Nah this man deserved the retirement. After wining a Super Bowl, what else could you prove? You will always be the 🐐
A lot of people wanted the smoke
I have Warren Sapp as the greatest DT but but...... I won't debate anybody who has Donald cuz he was very special..
Even Warren Sapp said Donald was better them him
I mean even most Bucs fans wouldn’t make this argument. I agree Sapp is the 2nd best DT of all time but it’s not even close
Warren Sapp actually said on the rich eisen show that Donald is above him
If you know how recruit star ratings work its not a surprise at all he wasnt a 5 star. The biggest knock on Donald has always been that hes undersized for the position. A lot of emphasis is put on guys being ideal nfl size and speed for their rankings.
The ratings are a pretty unreliable ranking system. How many guys have we seen become one of, if not the greatest at their position and they didn’t fit the “traditional mold” for their position or they were low draft picks/undrafted? Tom Brady, John Randle, Aaron Donald, Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, Night Train Lane, Antonio Gates, Adam Vinatieri, etc
8 minutes in and I haven't heard Warren Sapp's name. Who was a massive inside d-lineman with freak athleticism that got after the qb. Weird you missed on the best comparison to Donald. I'm gonna keep watching, but c'mon man. You're usually on the spot with these.
8:13 They forced him out of the league with them double, triple, and quadruple teams, plus other fruitty touches that the refs weren't seeing and calling so dude got fed up📌
Everyone always talks about the double and triple teams… for me I’ve never seen an offense get the ball out of their quarterbacks hands faster than playing AD
True blood Raider fan here and even I know Donald is the best DT and top 5 defensive players ever.
Mean Joe Greene
I played football and personally I think if Warren Sapp in a 3-4 defense it would be the same numbers or better
Sapp said himself that Donald is better than him
I really wish we had magical capabilities to bring NFL rules back to like the early 90s and bring all time teams into play (whichever team you made the biggest impact on you are there, it would be fun to watch those games because most teams would be stacked and all close with eachother.
I’m excited to see him join his old coach to recruit players for USC to help scare some people
If your a rams this is a sad day
The rest off the league thank goodness
also the league gotten soft so we will never seen an impact player like that where defensive player can make big hits that can change the game like AD did
Absolutely dominant player. Glad he's out of the NFC West.
He is the best player in the history of the sport!
not just best DT best defensive player ever
Great yes greatest no...but you guys are forgetting a lot of players.
😢😢😢
He revolutionized the defensive game? No, he didnt.
Yeah, he did. Completely shifted how GMs see the DT position
My only gripe with him was his tendency to choke dudes when he got double teamed. Like bro you're an all time DT, why you gotta due bullshit like that?
Other than that yeah he's my #2 best defensive player (Super Bowl era) all time just behind Laurence Taylor.
I was surprised that you didn’t mention JJ Watt in this. To me, his start to a career was more dominant and incredible than anyone I’ve ever seen, probably including Donald. It sucks that injuries stopped that trajectory - he seemed destined to break so many records. Donald is a freak though. Insane player and easily top 5 all time pass rusher.
JJ Watt is a DE, the fact that AD's stats are being compared to his as a DT is what makes Aaron Donald better lol
@@nabeelhussain3556 My memory may be off, but wasn't JJ a 3-4 DE most of his career, which is mostly equivalent to what Donald has played mostly.
Donald and JJ definitely played in different positions. Even if listed in the same role
First
On his way to the HOF after 3 seasons?
How old are you?
How much football have you watched?
Hmmm, I thought so🤣😂🤣
Forget 3, how about after 10? First ballot HOF
are you a crackhead?
Damn Aaron Donald was the best And my Philadelphia Eagles have the next "Best DT"!
No disrespect to Cox who is a HOF player but the gap was huge! AD is just insane
@@irlzy oh shit I forgot about Fletch that fast😂. I was actually talking about Jalen Carter! But yeah Fletch was the second best at the time but there was still a pretty big gap between the 2. Jalen taking over that position AD left startin next year
There will never be a defensive player as good as Lawrence Taylor
Don’t say that you didn’t watch any of THE SHOW, and then anoint Donald the goat of both era’s. He is great, but pump the breaks kid.
10 seasons is pretty short.
He said he only planned to play 8, but since he won the Super Bowl in year 8 he played 2 extra seasons hoping to get back
He’s achieved nearly every possible accolade in the league for a defensive player, while also being almost unanimously the best player at his position the entire time.
Greatest ram of all time? BWAHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! no, he wasnt.
Yeah, he is. Faulk, Warner, SJ39, Dickerson, Holt, Isaac and Deacon Jones were great but not on the level of AD
Why do you speak at negative 500 mph? Get on with it.
He wasn't feared... he was great, but no one feared him. He was contained many times by many teams... John Randle was better and Randle is #10 All-Time leader in sacks with 137.5... AS A DEFENSIVE TACKLE! Yeah Aaron Donald was a DT too, but ended his career 28th on the list with 111 sacks.
Dumbest comment ever
Warren Sapp called Donald a monster and said he was better than Donald. Also, the o-linemen John Randle played against weigh less than most Texas Olinemen do today
