Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff put his voice to the idea that Aaron Donald is an unstoppable beast and probably the best defensive player in the National Football League.
During a press conference, Jared Goff said the following about Aaron Donald:
“He's truly unblockable, I haven't seen a team block him yet. Teams will double-team him and he'll split the double teams.”
The gunslinger went on to explain how Donald opens up opportunities for other guys on the defensive line when he does get double-teamed.
Goff isn't the only quarterback in the league who believes Donald to be a stellar defensive player. Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson recently said some similar things.
“When I think about Aaron Donald, he’s probably in my opinion, the best defensive player I’ve ever played against in terms of actually playing in a game against,” Wilson said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “That’s a pretty big statement; I’ve played against some really good guys. I think back to my rookie year and my second year when I played against guys like [49ers linebackers Navarro] Bowman and [Patrick] Willis and all of those guys are in my head, the top guys I’ve ever played.
“I think about a guy like Aaron Donald, he’s definitely there too as well, so I have tremendous respect for how he plays the game. He’s really, really tough, he’s really quick, and he’s pretty special. You look forward to those matchups just because those are things that you’ll remember and those are the things that you’ll tell your kids one day ‘I played against this guy,’ and those are fun things. He’s definitely one of those guys that will probably be a Hall of Famer no doubt.”
While most people have been paying attention to an improved offense, the Rams can rest easy knowing they have a top-notch defensive talent in Donald playing on the other side of the football.
