I would almost never write about a TV show’s list or an opinion of a former player that could be considered somewhat benign, but when I saw this, I had no other choice.
Is Aaron Donald one of the top-10 players in the NFL today? No question.
Top-10 of his generation? Yes.
Top-10 of the 21st century? Absolutely.
Top-10 defensive player of all-time? Maybe. It’s fair to wonder.
How about top-10 player all-time, period?
That’s what Marcellus Wiley was willing to go on record with this week, ranking Aaron Donald as the 10th-best player of all-time, behind such NFL legends as Barry Sanders, Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, and Dan Marino.
