Aaron Donald shocked the football world just over a week ago when he announced his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons, leaving the game as one of the greatest of all time. While he won’t admit that he’s the ultimate G.O.A.T., he’s unquestionably one of the best defenders in league history.
To honor the future Hall of Famer, the Rams took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times on Sunday with the quote, “Legends live forever” and a photo of Donald. It was an awesome way to pay tribute to one of the all-time greats as he exits the NFL after a decade of dominance, showing just how much Donald meant to the team and organization.

Donald retired from football with 111 career sacks, the most in franchise history. He’s a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2029 and is up there with the likes of Jack Youngblood and Merlin Olsen as two of the best to ever wear the horns.
