There was a point in the Los Angeles Rams' 38-31 victory over the Vikings in 2018 when Troy Aikman laughed at the ease with which Aaron Donald can turn professional guards into Keystone Kops.
"Donald gets past Mike Remmers before he even gets out of his stance!" the Hall of Famer turned analyst marveled when Donald exploded from his three-technique position, swam by Remmers and dropped Latavius Murray for no gain as Remmers whirled in the wake before landing on his backside 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was asked this week about that relatively nondescript play as a classic example of a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year's rare ability to obliterate.
