The Rams took Aaron Donald with the No. 13 pick in the 2014 NFL draft. He played with the franchise for 10 seasons, earning a Pro Bowl in each season.

Donald played a key role in helping the Rams win the Super Bowl in 2022. He also won the Defensive Player of the Year three times.

Donald retired in March 2024. He has not played in the past two seasons, but there is talk of the DE potentially returning to the league given his physicality and conditioning.
