Shocking news in the NFL world … Aaron Donald — arguably the best defensive player of his generation — is retiring.
The Los Angeles superstar just announced his decision on his X page … revealing that after 10 seasons with the Rams, he’s hanging up his cleats.
In his announcement post, Donald thanked L.A.’s org. and its fans … before explaining he’s now hoping that without football, he’ll be able to spend plenty more time with his wife and kids.
“Throughout my career,” Donald said, “I have given my everything to football both mentally and physically — 365 days a year was dedicated to becoming the best possible player I could be.”
“I respected this game like no other and I’m blessed to be able to conclude my NFL career with the same franchise that drafted me.”
