The most dominant defensive lineman of his generation, and arguably of all time, has announced his retirement after an illustrious 10-year career.

He has won three Defensive Player of the Year awards, achieved eight All-Pro Honors, and earned 10 Pro Bowl selections. In 2014, he was named Defensive Rookie of the Year and in 2022, he won a Super Bowl with the Rams. Donald has been contemplating retirement since winning the Super Bowl, so this news may not be a surprise to some.

Despite being smaller than many top defensive tackles, Donald utilized his exceptional athleticism and game intelligence to cause chaos for offenses throughout his career. He was a foundation piece to every team he has been a part of, often drawing double-teams away from his teammates, yet still managing to record a franchise record of 111 sacks as a defensive tackle, which is third in the NFL among active players.

One of the greatest defensive players to ever play the game of football. Donald is certain to be a first-ballot hall of famer when he becomes eligible for Canton.
