NFL rumors have been going wild ever since the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett. The main question on every mind was: What if Aaron Donald came back? At first, this was just a rumor with absolutely zero traction.
Then it slowly built up and picked up steam.
Then it became a true possibility.
Donald making an NFL comeback would be unprecedented, but shouldn’t come as a surprise. I mean, just look at the man. Let’s dive a little deeper into these NFL rumors and what signs are pointing towards a potentially terrifying defensive line in Los Angeles.
Donald’s NFL resume could rival anyone in the league’s history. He played from 2014 to 2023 and never missed a Pro Bowl. He was an All-Pro eight times in his ten-year career, including seven consecutive selections. He was a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was in the top five of voting for the award seven times.
The accolades speak for themselves when evaluating his skill set, but Donald’s biggest achievement came during Super Bowl 56 in 2022. He put on a dominating performance to lead the Rams to a Super Bowl victory.
Donald currently sits at 111 career sacks, but that number could be going up even more. One of the greatest defensive players of all time is considering a comeback to the NFL, but why?
Donald was firmly retired with really no talk of an NFL comeback. That was up until the Rams shocked the league and traded for Garrett. Immediately after that, people started wondering what a duo of the NFL’s most feared defensive players ever would look like.
NFL fans may soon be getting their wish. The rumor has continued on for months with no one really shutting it down. It began dying down on its own, but then Donald was seen in one of his first appearances since the Garrett trade. Where was he? Working out at the Rams training facility.
Rams players have not been shy about a potential comeback story either, as they have continuously endorsed the idea of the Rams legend making his return. Davontae Adams is the most recent example, making a post about the two.
Donald returning to the NFL would immediately become the biggest story in the league. There is nothing that is capable of stopping a duo of Garrett and Donald, especially not an offensive line. One would imagine the odds of the Rams winning the Super Bowl would skyrocket if Donald truly does come back. An awesome story to follow as the NFL offseason winds down.
