In a shocking announcement that rocked the NFL world, Aaron Donald officially retired from the league after a illustrious 10-year career with the Los Angeles Rams. The news sent shockwaves through the football community, with fans and players alike expressing their admiration for the legendary defensive lineman.
One such player who had a lot to say about Donald was San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa. In the lead up to the highly anticipated 49ers–Rams matchup, Bosa took the opportunity to praise his former opponent, calling him “dominant” and acknowledging his impressive career. Bosa even went as far as to say that Donald lived “everybody’s dream” by retiring while he was still healthy.
In an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area, Bosa spoke highly of Donald’s accomplishments, stating, “He was the best in the game for 10 years, then [he] called it out—got out healthy. And that’s what everybody’s dream is. It’s been fun to watch him. We’re glad we don’t have to play him anymore.”
Donald’s retirement comes after a career filled with accolades, including three NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards and Pro Bowl selections in each season he played. Despite the speculation, it seems unlikely that Donald will make a return to the gridiron, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history.
