ESPN names Aaron Donald the greatest defensive tackle in NFL history

Lost in all the attention surrounding Los Angeles Rams training camp was Aaron Donald receiving yet another accolade on his already overloaded resume. This week, ESPN picked the greatest NFL players of all time according to their respective position on either offense or defense. Voting was conducted by 50 experts, reporters and analysts close to the sport.

Donald has made a career of causing quarterbacks to boom boom in their pants so it should be no surprise that voters named him the greatest defensive tackle in league history. AD earned 39 of the 50 votes cast and beat out all-time greats such as Joe Greene, fellow Rams legend Deacon Jones, Alan Page, John Randle and Warren Sapp.
