Aaron Donald put on one of the best shows by a defensive lineman at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2014, dominating every drill from the 40-yard dash to the three-cone drill. Despite that performance, concerns about his size caused him to fall out of the top 10 in the draft that year, landing with the Rams at No. 13 overall.
He’s since become the league’s most dominant player, winning Defensive Player of the Year the last two seasons. Donald wasn’t always as ripped and chiseled as he is now, though. Jared Goff trolled Donald on Instagram by jokingly calling him “really chubby” at the combine back in 2014.
Here’s the original Instagram post, which is a highlight of Donald’s performance at the combine five years ago.
Donald may have been chubby in Goff’s eyes back then, but no one would dare call him that now. He’s in what appears to be the best shape of his life, which should terrify offensive linemen and quarterbacks everywhere.
