This is what happens when you have a good father in the home major respect
Eagles Nation agreed sir
What are u trying to say?
This is what society wants to eliminate. We must protect fatherhood at all costs.
@@yoowuzgud 10000% agree
@@pvnchos1478 what he means by that is some men dont be there for their kids
20 sacks by a defensive tackle is just insane....
You forgot the .5
And missed a couple
Of games that is
Jack Chueh you a fool😂
What he do against the pats tho 😂😂
Man what a dream to be able to do what he did for his family
Good for him. Now time to care for those who sacrificed so much for him!
Don’t label it a dream, because dreams aren’t real. These are reality, and if me you and anyone else can just reach out and take the opportunities that are presented these acts wouldn’t seem to be some far fetched fantasy.
Solo Pythonz it started out as a dream and turned to reality tho...
Aaron Donald deserved to be defensive player of the year he's a beast
Everytime I go to the comments I see people with the same profile picture as you what does it mean? And people say big chungus can you tell me
Your mom’s a beast
Bootyclapper123 who
ItsRexPvP oh yeah yeah
ItsRexPvP type in oh yeah yeah and you’ll have your answer
Finally someone giving their father props.
Having a father to give props too...its a rare thing! Sad!
I’d be scared if a defensive linemen had a six pack too..
Luis_Is _Goated underrated comment
They all do
Thanos are u high
TheBestofBoys 247 yea how’d u know???
I played with one in high school. Same body type in he was a beast
shout out to real black dads putting in work and not demanding anything from their kids. You could tell aaron wanted to help, as opposed to feeling compelled to help.
Why shout out to black dads? Why not to all real dads? Thats bs
Aaron Blanchard I’m assuming you’re white just off your response 😂
@@aaronandvicky7652 This is true that there is a epidemic of fatherless across the board, however, there is dire need Black manhood to be modeled in front of young black boys which is rarely seen
I see where Aaron gets his humbleness from. His father is super humble. Not taking one credit for Aaron’s success. That’s amazing.
I like the fact that his family didn’t excepted to take care of them. He wanted to take care of them. It’s all about hard work. I know some family’s is money hungry but it’s nice to see this family doing it right because Aaron Donald wants to take care of his parents.
I’m wrong but lol yes 😂🤣 Kobe parents are bad
I’m wrong but I would too!!!
One of the Rare times that a player signs a Contract & lives up to the same year. I rarely see someone sign a new contract & contribute even more the same year.
I watched the Rams play Denver this year at Mile High and watched A.D. on defense most of the time...dude never took a play off once, and they could have called holding on the o-lineman about every play he's so hard to block.
because of the dishonest rookie pay scheme
Literally just finished watching this on NFL countdown with tears in my eyes. Fabulous story
Me too...
They could have put this on the lifetime channel
Hard not to root for a guy like that.
finally ONE video out of thousands, where the father is the positive in the story. i'm shockingly stunned this was even aired
To put up those numbers from the interior position is just insane. I played interior dline in high school and it was literally impossible to get a sack from that position because you would constantly get doubled on the inside. Always ended up getting pancaked instead lmao...
I did too! I tell people this shit all the time its hard for D tackles to get sacks because most offensive blocking schemes call for the D tackle to be double teamed. that's why a d tackle can go to the pro bowl with 8 sacks if he has a lot of tackles and tackles for loss
@@jaytv2572 Mike Daniels made it with 4
got any videos of you getting pancaked? lol
Bruh this comment would be the same as if I went to a comedy short and said “The comedians timing and delivery were just perfect. I can tell you as someone who finds themselves funny that it isn’t always easy to get both right.”
I'm just glad to hear a father recognized for a change. 👍🏼
Shoutout to the single dads out there stay strong keep your head up and be smart most of all be there for your child
Knocks JJ Watt back to #2 in the NFL on defense
It's good to have competition.
And there's Khalil Mack too.
@JBJ mack is nice but he's not better then AD. FACTS!!!!
Put 3 of them in your Madden team
@JBJ nah Aaron Donald is #1 by far
Edge rushers easier to neutralize
The Future Is Here my list is still 1.watt 2.donald and 3.mack but with those three players their so great that they all have a case for number 1
Nice story kids don’t forget the sacrifices parents did for them
His dad still swole as hell, genetics at its best.
“My son bt that’s his body of work” love that statement by a father!
Yeah, what a humble dad 👍
Salute to Archie Donald Sr. You paved the way for Aaron and Archie Jr. to become great!
Wow man. Imagine telling your pops, 'you're done!'
Great job Dad! Train a child up in the way he should go, when he is older he will not depart. 👍🏾💪🏾🏆🏈👋🏾✊🏽😎 OUTSTANDING !
1st ballot
He's the best player in the nfl in my opinion
Daddy I was gonna say no way, but thinking about it now he’s actually in the convo. Brady is not consensus 1, neither is Rodgers either.
@@EMcIsBoSsMode FACTS (no homo tho...)
#Dubnation Brady is the best
@Emmett Big ol Floppy Jalopy! ..... (No Homo)
Touchin to hear... strong an encouraging... i needed to see dis today.... thank u
I love seeing the parents stay in the homes they raised the child in idk why
This guy and his family deserve everything! Good for them great hard working family that perservered through the tough times
Does the narrator have a sinus flu or something?
he has a case of the steroids
@@TJ-nk4de the narrator, idiot. Not donald
He has butt flu
Coke
Jordan Dicker ok i wasn’t the only one who realized that
based on their looks. Im pretty sure archie jr and aaron are brothers...
Cheesy Does It Cooking noooooo
lololololol
The lessons a father can teach can never be matched!! Salute to his dad!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
My favorite player in the nfl no doubt
Yeah he a BEAST. Real fun to watch ✊#99
Real men do Real things..much respect to their family😊👍👍
This is motivation man I just had a grandson and me n his father are on his case. If you want it you gotta work hard for it💯💯💯💯
Single mothers take note. Fathers are important
as if the mothers would chose to be single mothers...
@@frtz8609 women are the gatekeepers to sex, pick better mates
@@frtz8609 hell yes they do

Great family. God bless you all
Loved this vid!! Great father sons tandem. His father sold himself short and you can see why AD is so humble and grounded. Anyone who was not a fan of AD will be one before this vid is over. GO AD!!!
3:05 'it's on me now'
Amazing dude man.
Awesome parent's raise awesome children. Brings a tear to my eye
Product of the Eastside💯🐐 #Motivation #EastsideLegend
much love to Aaron for what he did for his parents and even more respect to his dad, who was there and tried to raise a man.
Awe. Wonder story. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely story. That man & woman raised some incredible human beings. It's so important for fathers to spend time and lead their kids. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
this is what is missing in the black community, fathers that actually act like a father
100%
statistics say they do not
just stop already with your delusional wishful thinking BS statements
MikeG82 well my dad did, so fuck your statistics 😂😂😂
MikeG82 man you ain’t lying cuh
ok tell me where in the world i should go to see more black fathers in their kids lives?
africa? where do i go that proves all of these statistics wrong?
I’m a die hard Steelers fan but I’m a HUGE fan of Aaron Donald. He graduated from my high school Pennhills and the team this year won the WPIAL Championship and the state championship also. The perfect season. Zero losses. His work ethic is unreal. It definitely motivates me just after watching this and how highly his father and brother speak of him. Stay humble big homie. He never forgot where he came from. Going back to where it all began keeps that 🔥🔥🔥 lit and makes you appreciate it a lot more of the person you have become. Skies the limit bro.
Great story.....luv it....
Such a Beast Mode player. Exciting to watch. Good man too. Good luck this season!
This motivates to work harder as A offensive lineman and a Dt no matter how much success I get I won't never be satisfied with it 💯
From Pittsburgh ❗️❗️🔥💯
Respect to his dad.. Son out in the work, while he introduced him to possibilities.
This is motivation!
Amazing. Much respect to this man for taking care of his parents
AD99 one of the best to ever put there hands down... Always push your kids to do there best... much respect
Sweet sweet love right here... Messed around and cried..😪❤️💛
Such a great family!!! He has a great father...who was there for him. He can be proud.
wanted the Bengals to win but they are young. Glad to see Donald achieve his dream. Congrats! Great Player!
Model father for his son!!!! Aaron Donald is a beast on the field!!!
I’m 13 5”11 210 and play starting d tackle and left tackle for offense I hope to be just like Arron
Crush it Aaron!!! You have a new fan and great job by your parents and your brother!!
#1 key to success: never forget where you came from ❤️
Great job Dad ! Your someone us fathers can look up to. 💪🏽
Haha my friends and family call me flintstone for the same reason. Great video
He seems like a Good dude who had great values instilled in him since childhood by a strong family.
Absolutely love it!
Great sons! Very inspirational
great gym arron sure deserves his amout of pay he put in the work for many years its much deserved for all his hard long work thanyou arron
A WHOLE new respect for the boi Aaron...WHOLE new!
This aged well. Gotta respect this man.
Salute to the fathers who set the tone like Aaron's father 💪🏾
That's the roll Lavar ball was pose to play
Moejoe King bruh what
Pose to play? Huh? Oh! Supposed*
role*
😂😂
Delete this comment, you’re embarrassing yourself
You are right about the dad. Doesn't matter black or white if the father is missing from a boys life and even a girls life the children usually have issues. Very rarely can moms do both jobs. I know Bo Jackson only had a mom and he was the hardest working player in history and one of the best but they are few. It is AWESOME that he goes back home to his childhood basement to workout in the off season. True warrior!!
Absolute unit of a man
Aaron Donald is a Beast. He is arguably the best DT the league has seen this decade. He played his heart out last night and evem in defeat, I think the entir football world has no choice but to respect this monster. AD99
Much respect
This is why he is one of the best players. He has that burning drive mind set to make himself the best he can be. Most people don't have that mindset because you must love to train and that comes from the heart. I know exactly what he is talking about.
The Power of a Father that has a vision for his son, is unmatched.
This shit is so inspirational! Strong men raising stronger men. We don’t see that as much as we should now a days.
So inspirational man 🥹
Amazing story of a father and a son"s bond and younger brother. Congrats to DAD.
Tell me if you are teary eyes too. Lol
Compton own mane ! Me and Steve was talking about ya the other day !
SOOO! Love this!!GOD bless sweet heart!!
Love this
Mad respect to the father and the son for paying it forward.
Hope he has a career game today! 🏈 such a great son!
I love it man
This best story of a father to son 💯
I got nothing to say but AMAZING.
"Hang up your cleats, you're done...." RESPECT.
I’ll never forget watching his 40 yard dash and was like “wait a sec 🧐”
as a DT this man is one hell of a motivation
Being self motivated and working out constantly at home is way harder than going to the gym. Takes true dedication and will.
A father is the most integral element in a household
Its impossible to dislike this guy
Awesome!
Amazing story!
Beast mode
Its awesome to see a child paying tribute back to their parents.
Coming from a Seahawks fan I am a huge fan of Aaron Donald
Let’s go AD!
Awesome Dad!!! Way to go Mr. Donald!!! You are one awesome father.
Beautiful story
How does anyone possibly give this video a thumbs down? He's done everything right... And has stayed out of trouble in the NFL. Not always the case these days.
Ryan Boyd probably saints fans...
People will hate regardless bro. You could invent a pill to cure all diseases and people will still hate you.
