Aaron Donald: 8 Tackles, 4 Sacks, 6 Tackles For Loss, 1 Forced Fumble, 1 Fumble Recovery
Last but not least, we have Aaron Donald. There’s no words that can describe how dominant number 99 was on Sunday.
He continues to treat opposing offensive line’s like they are blocking sleds, easily making work of them. Fans were worried with Donald’s slow start to the season.
Through the first three games this year, he had zero sacks (even though a couple were taken away by the new roughing the passer penalty). In the last four games alone, Donald has racked up eight sacks.
With those eight sacks, he has taken sole lead of sacks in the NFL. Fans can stop saying he’s not playing up to par after receiving his mega-contract extension.
Donald is undoubtedly the most dominant defensive player in the NFL. Every week he wreaks havoc on opposing defenses, causing them to try to find ways to hinder his dominance. Most of the time to no avail.
The strip/forced fumble that Donald had on Matt Breida yesterday, was one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while. Here it is for you to enjoy (hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did).
All-time disrespectful strip from Aaron Donald 😅

Even 49ers’ Joe Staley knows that Donald is in a class of his own, when it comes to his level of play.
#49ers OT Joe Staley on Rams DT Aaron Donald: "I don’t think there’s anybody that’s ever been like him in the NFL," Staley said. "He’s in a class of his own."

If Donald continues his commanding run this year, he could see himself win back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year Awards.
