Aaron Donald works out for Rams

[Tussinman]

He hasn't played in 2 years. Now he's coming back at 35? I'm leaning more towards washed up. At best an adequate rotational piece.

Supposedly he retired in pretty good health so I wouldn't be surprised if he's still lethal in a more manageable 30-35 snaps a game situation.

The hell with LA

I respect that take. We shall see soon enough.

The guy has always been in phenomenal condition and shape. Has taken a few years off meaning less wear and tear on him. He was never an injury prone player.

He is a special talent, so I lean toward him not losing too much of a step even at 35. Especially having been away from the NFL trenches for a few years. Put him on the same side as Myles Garrett or even on the opposite side of Garrett and trying to double someone could be tough. He may face the most 1 v 1s of his entire career.

Donald is one of the rare players to retire while he was still healthy and his game hadn't bottomed out. He may not be the 20-sack player he was at his peak, but if he is in shape, there's no reason to suspect that he can't be an eight-sack defender like he was when he retired.

....still remember Pollard, running right off Donald's shoulder for 54yd TD run.

That was three years ago. Cant imagine what might happen now ..

They have a 1.8% chance to match Jerry and go 30 years without making it back to a CCG.

Yawn

Yeah, that D-line will be a force to be reckoned with, especially with Garrett and Donald.

That's pretty much where I think he is right now. Kind of how we used Clowny. Less snaps will get the best from him. How good he is remains to be seen.
