Aaron Donald: 2 Tackles, 2 Sacks
Aaron Donald continues to wreak havoc this season, showing why he is undoubtedly the most dominant defensive player in the NFL.
Most people in the media or Rams fans themselves were worrisome of the lack of sacks from Donald to begin the season. They believed he was no longer motivated after receiving his humongous contract extension.
In the first three weeks of the season, he had a fat zero in the sack column. This left fans scratching their heads, wondering on whether or not he was worth the money.
He absolutely was then and especially now. The past five weeks, he’s annihilated opposing offensive lines, sacking the QB 10 times. Donald now sits atop the NFL with 10 sacks on the year.
You also have to realize he is doing this while being an interior lineman. Yesterday, he dominated once again, sacking Aaron Rodgers twice.
Here is one of his sacks, showcasing his shear strength and speed.

Ask any offensive lineman in the NFL who they hate facing the most, I guarantee Donald’s name comes up 90% of the time.
The Rams franchise record for sacks from a defensive tackle is 11.5, when D’Marco Farr did it in 1995. It’s hard to believe that Donald won’t reach that milestone very soon.
