After the Los Angeles Rams' incredible Super Bowl 56 win on Sunday, one of the major talking points among fans and the media is Aaron Donald's future with the team. While there have been rumors about a potential retirement for the defensive tackle, Von Miller doesn't think his teammate will call it a career just yet.
According to Miller, winning the Super Bowl is an “addictive” feeling, and he can't see Donald leaving that after tasting it for the first time.
“I don’t know, man. He’s done everything you can possibly do,” Miller shared, per Pro Football Talk. “But this feeling here, there’s nothing like it. It’s addictive. Once you feel this — coming to the Super Bowl is one thing. But winning it is different. And we’ll just have to see.
“He’s done so much. But I’ll tell you, this feeling is great. It just makes you want it more and more and more. But he’s definitely capped off a great career, if he chooses to do that. But this is an addictive feeling and I can’t see him walking away from this.”
Prior to Super Bowl 56, former NFL star and current sports analyst Rodney Harrison claimed that there's a “strong possibility” Aaron Donald retires should the Rams win the game. Naturally following their victory, the 30-year-old was asked about it.
Donald, however, refused to answer questions about his future as he enjoys their win.
Of course sidestepping the question will only raise more concerns, as some are likely led to believe that he is indeed considering retirement given that he couldn't provide a direct answer for it. But then again, as Von Miller said it, winning is a feeling that would be difficult to part with. Just look at Tom Brady who retired at the age of 44 and is still being linked for a comeback because of his competitive nature.
