LA Rams All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald has redefined the role of an NFL defensive lineman. When he was drafted in 2014, he was once described as a defensive lineman too small, too chaotic, promising techniques but limited in his impact for a future NFL career. So much for that nonsense.
It’s a lifestyle that he has committed to. A 24 by 7 commitment to taking strict care of his body to be at his peak performance each and every day. It’s not something that can be worn like a nice suit and then removed to kick back and enjoy.
