Rams DT Aaron Donald won't be slowing down anytime soon

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- As Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead, coach Sean McVay and vice president Tony Pastoors realized the changes that were coming to their defense following a disappointing 2022 season, they wanted to check in with their future Hall of Famer.

Aaron Donald sat with them in Pastoors' office before the start of free agency, where they discussed what the defense might look like in 2023 around the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Rams knew they'd likely be "losing guys that have been big-time contributors."

"He's a great competitor," McVay said of Donald.
