Think about it: he got double- and triple-teamed, while playing an interior position that meant no TE could chip him. Ridiculously dominant. One of the GOAT's for sure.
What about Ted Washington?
Good point! They really don't stack up the sacks, but for many years he did.
Huge respect for AD and a sigh of relief from a Niner fan. Now that he's done mauling our QB, I wish him nothing but happiness and success from here on out.
They're not talking about Anthony Davis🤦♂️
Thank god, this mans had Geno Smith running for his life out there
And Russ! He broke that man’s finger
Thank God, I hate the Hawks playing the Rams and he was a reason why.
He always gave Carson Palmer nightmares as well.
One of the greatest defensive players of all time man, hate to see him go but happy for him. Time to rest up.
Top 5 all time defensive for sure.
Insane, 8 1st all pros and he played 10 seasons. Ridicoulous player. Unshakeable, one of a kind talent
Geez, Louise. Y'all trippin' Greatest EVER....
What about JJ Watt?
Greatest Ram Of All Time
Kurt wanner say hi
@@Tampa81333Deacon Jones to me is, as a non Rams fan, THE greatest Ram of all time. I think Aaron Donald has legitimate argument to that throne and to each their own tastes. Both will likely be on the NFL's 125th Anniversary team as they are both that good. But to me, when we inevitably see greatest Ram defender, greatest Ram of all time lists, lets not forget the man who coined the term "sack." The discussion should at the very least start there.
@@Tampa81333Kurt was there less than 7 years, went to 2 superbowls and won one. He is great. But Donald started and ended a Ram and just in the scope of all his achievements, I think he’s the greatest Ram ever
@@Gungho73 Someone here gets it at least...There's Deacon and Donald...The rest, show me them being triple-team half as much, then we'll talk
AD or Deacon Jones and there's no debate.
I'm literally sick to my stomach. Ty AD as a lifelong Rams fan u good sir did it right . HOF career no doubt triple teamed every play u caused havoc stopped Burrow to give us that Superbowl the list goes on and on. Ty ty ty enjoy your family
I feel like Kobie Turner joining that defensive line gave Aaron Donald some peace on the decision
I've been a Rams fan since elementary school 1999, to be exact. I still remember AD first season. I knew we had something special I swear I'm gonna miss 99 out there causing havoc
Well. 5 years from now Kelce and Donald getting gold jackets the same time. Didn’t expect that.
When I first saw #99 play, it took me back to the days of the Fearsome Foursome, Deacon, Merlin, Rosey and Lamar. Mr. Donald is one of the best there ever was and a legend himself, thank you Aaron !
I’m so saddened 😢we will miss him on our Rams team! Much love and best of luck to you in whatever your retired road takes you! You are a BEAST AND OUR RAMS TEAM WILL NEVER FIND OR HAVE ANYONE LIKE YOU EVER!Horns up always Aaron Donald🐏🐏💙💛💙💛💙💛 it took 3 dudes to try and take him down, that’s for sure! I’m so happy he finally, won the SB and got that ring, he soooo deserved💙💛
Kirk Morrison may be my new favorite guest host on this show. Cool!
What about Mad Dog?
An absolute beast. Game wrecker. So fun to watch him play.
Thank You Aaron Donald First Ballot HOF pleasure to watch you man
He did it the right way. Thank you Aaron, from a 49er fan.
I cannot imagine how frustrating it is to line up against a double/ triple team on every play for years now. Greatest DT with Warren Sapp in my opinion.
Im a Bucs fan that grew up with those Sapp era teams. Sapps an all timer and a legend for my hometown franchise but AD is a rung above him. He is in Alan Page/Reggie White tier. An all timer of all timers
All those double & triple teams and Donald still wreaked havoc.
My dad saw Mean Joe Greene in college and described him as a bowling ball going through a bunch of pins. Donald often played the same way at the NFL level!
What about the Fridge?
@@troll-fx2zc not even in the conversation
Sapp said it himself, AD is better than he was!
Nice simple statement announcing his retirement. I appreciate that.
As a 9ers fan the best compliment I can give is that I was extremely happy getting this news. Absolute gamechanger, best inside lineman ever imo. Hell of a career
Ever? Honestly think I take Cowboy over him, Justin Smith was just as much a monster...
@@ebotfu I mean I love Cowboy but personally I give AD the nod (begrudgingly) imo. The % of double teams, the sacks, the forced fumbles.
@@ebotfu Donald accomplished a lot more than smith 🤷🏽♂️ cowgirls haven’t seen anything in decades 🤣
Man, Kirk is awesome.
Love Kirk man, get him on the show more
One of the best ever!!! Well done Mr Donald. Congrats to understanding life and moving onto greater things.
I'll never forget when Alex Smith came back from his injury and following complications and they played the rams and AD literally jumped on his back to tackle him and after the play he was on the sideline and told his teammate, damn that leg strong lol much respect from a Niner fan
That was an amazing moment. First I think we were terrified for Smith wearing an Aaron Donald coat, but seeing his leg hold up was sheer joy.
A sad day for a lifelong Rams fan but I knew it would come. Thank you to Aaron Donald!!
What a day to have to be the guest host, Kirk!
one the best moments to describe who AD was on the field is when Gino Smith saw AD coming at him and all QB was able to do is to say "oh sh$%t"
Absolute LEGEND!!! 🫡
Seahawks fan, here. The bad man can't hurt us anymore!
The rest of the NFC west is very happy to hear this.
What about the AFC West?
Rest of the league lol
Ram fan here; this hurts, even though it was obvious he had been flirting with retiring for a while. Instant Hall of Famer, Jersey retirement, statue; all of it. To say he earned it is a massive understatement. Watching him terrorize QB’s and offenses was an absolute privilege to watch. I’ll never forget him chasing down Jimmy G and ruining the Niners Super Bowl dreams (Suck it Niners 😜) and then chasing down Joe Burrow during the Super Bowl and getting his ring. There’s only one true AD in LA, and he played for the Rams. Enjoy retirement 99; can’t wait to see you in Canton.
I’m a Vikings fan, and I’m disappointed about this. Much respect to an all time great. Still mad we didn’t draft you.
Long time Ram fan and wish AD the best. Glad I got to watch him play at a elite level for 10 yrs
Aaron Donald. I'm so happy I bought his jersey. I wish I could have gotten it signed while I was in California.
Something tells me Aaron Donald and the Rams made a deal that he could rejoin the team towards the end of the year if they were in a playoff position it would help them with the salary cap he wouldn't put as much wear and tear on the body. he could play another 4 or five years like this but only receive about 1 regular year of punishment to his body and have a chance to win another Super Bowl I was actually thinking about this Scenario months ago it just makes too much sense just another way for the Rams to stay the competition. can you imagine a healthy fresh AD going into the playoffs every year.
He truly had an incredible year. One of the best ever. He deserves a good rest. Enjoy retirement Aaron Donald
I sure do appreciate his effort.. What a Man! This is what "Mind, & Body& Spirit in unity can do. And he dreams it, works it, and lives it... How can anyone not admire that integrity and dedication... When I hear or even think of Aaron Donald ; The name. itself makes me stand up a little straighter.. Thank you eternally Aaron Donald..
Rams fan of 42 years here, and I am SICK right now! Im also extremely appreciative that AD was a Ram and will go down as an NFL LEGEND for the Rams!
Kyler Murray said what every NFC West QB is thinking! I'm a Seattle fan who has such begrudging respect for Donald. May he have the best retirement ever and have zero thoughts of coming back to hurt my guys some more. Every NFC West offensive lineman is probably seeing a therapist who says, "Show us on the doll where Aaron Donald hurt you"
One of the genuine greats. Just put him in the Hall of Fame right now.
A rare smart career man who married well to a wife from the community, maintained his health, seemingly built a good reputation, made and maintained his money and raised his children. God bless to Mr. Donald and family.
Jadevion Clowney was drafted #1 overall by the texans when donald came out. Imagine if they had taken Donald with that pick. They would have had jj watt and aaron donald. Who tf is standing up to that defense
Clooney is a beast
Love this tribute. Really paints a picture.
As a football fan, sorry to see an all-time great retire, when it feels like there's fuel left in the tank...as a Seahawks fan, enjoy the f**k out of your retirement, Mr. Aaron Donald, mad respect to your otherworldly ability to wreck an offense, and thanks for choosing not to damage my Hawks anymore!
I’ll cry about this for a long time. Beyond proud to call my self a life long rams fan. This man changed our organization for ever. The goat of all goats. The definition of greatness. Dog work baby. Whose fucking house?
The Battering Ram who’s playing presence penetrated opponents OL from the inside out. Congratulations for a great career Aaron Donald!
Aaron Donald was happy hanging with the younger guys because he still feels young. He's leaving before he feels broken down. Brilliant player. Can you think of a better DT?
Feels young ?? Dude he is still quite young - smart guy though- retire before he gets an injury that hurts him bad ! Enjoy your retirement A. Donald !🎉
One of the greatest players of all time. Donald was an absolute monster, dude ruined O-Lines and ruined offensive game plans.
Don't compare him to Dan Hampton🤦♂️
More Kirk. Dude is a stud broadcaster.
F**Kin' awesome vid. THANKS GUYS!!!! AD=GOAT
As a Seahawks fan, thank goodness, what a player !!!
I can't think of not see big D not on the field wounderful yrs always remember you.
He's going to the WWE
There will never be another AD,will miss him
As a life long Rams fan, what a gut punch in the stomach. I really thought we could squeeze another year out of him and this leaves a HUGE hole in our defensive line. Man this sucks!!!
Super Bowl down the drain smh it was our year
It sucks but I don’t think we’re as bad off as we think we are
I’m genuinely sad we don’t get to watch him put on a masterclass every week anymore, but I appreciate the honor it has been to enjoy what we did get.
Read the description. Kirk Morrison.
He was probably tired of getting triple teamed on every single play. I was seriously hoping they would draft someone to take that pressure of Donald. But now they need to draft to fill the hole in the defensive line.
As a rams fan im in pain
I literally almost cried lol
Funny I was wondering if he would retire. One of the best to ever play and understated also, great person great player.
Whats size gold jacket would like to wear sir 🙏
As a Seahawks fan I say good for him!
Who gets top billing at the 2029 HOF, Jason Kelce or Aaron Donald?
A. Donald does.
LEGEND.
Super smart move.
Retire the jersey. Build the statue
As a Niners fan, thank god lol.
He flirted with the idea after the Super Bowl a few years ago, at the time I thought it was for contract leverage. He was serious though. Easily one of the best DT's of all time & a first ballot HOF'er. Shocking stiil.
Finally some good news
AD and Fletcher Cox both retiring in the same offseason.
gonna miss you Aaron
Always better to go out on your own time than to wait for Father Time to say you're done.
I originally thought the rams would pick up Joey Bosa so he could stay home.
1st ballot and from what is said, a man.
Urban Meyer has no idea what’s happening right now.
wtF!! what is happening!
Thank the lord.... He had russ running for majority of his career and had me screaming "HOW DO YOU STOP THIS!!"
Goat
That is a very tough player to replace. All those close games last year that the rams won will now become losses in 2024
Any Vegas odds that he un-retires?
Thank you AD99 rams fan of over 30 yrs you are the GOAT
Equivalent of finding out the main antagonist of your favorite series has been written out of the next season.
Huge loss for the Rams and the NFL.
I don't blame him though his position takes so much punishment every snap.
Is this real
Elgton Jenkins son 🙏 best of luck out there
I'm sad. Feels like next year we were going to make another playoff run. Congratulations AD99 on the retirement and ring. Was a great and quick 10 years.
Good news for the rest of the NFC West.
Does he still get paid his contract for next season?
Isn't it too early for April fools? 😔
Nooooo😢. 1 more year cmon
I won't say it's bad for football because I'd much rather players left the game on their terms with full faculties after delivering game breaking play after game breaking play than regret overstaying, stagnating and getting hurt BUT it sure is sad for football and Rams fans must be gutted they "only" got 10 years.
I started watching football again because of Aaron Donald, at the same time my Chargers get Justin Herbert. That's why I root for my LA teams. Thanks for the memories, the Rams will not be able to fill the void, goodbye Superbowl run.
GOAT
Rich looking tanned af
Good. This training camp won't have him fighting, swinging helmets at people, and choking people in game. Thug.
thats not a surprise, he wanted to retire after his sb.
A very sad day for me
No one can wear #99 in horns again.
Chris jones is pass him now but dude it took literally end of Donalds career. Tell you truth if it wasn’t for sb’s he be way past Jones. Love him he always be my number one and I’m die hard chief fan too. Donald number 1 Jones my number 2
I’ll let yall know when I stop crying 😢🤦♂️😪
HOF for sure.
Took the dude over our minutes to make a 20 second point.
Yeah he should've just said "Aaron Donald retired. Next!"
Russell Wilson is the QB most sacked by Aaron Donald.
10 years. aaron donald wasnt going to last much longer. dude was literally fighting 2-3 linemen and runningbacks simultaneously. that abuse wears on you.
