Aaron Donald is one of the most dominant players in Los Angeles Rams and NFL history.
The veteran defensive tackle made the Pro Bowl in all 10 of his NFL seasons, earned eight first-team All-Pro nods and three NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards. Oh yeah, and he finished with 111 career sacks — which ranks 40th in the NFL history.

He had a great career before retiring after the 2023 season, so it should come as no surprise he made Pro Football Focus’ top team from the past 25 years.
“Donald is the highest-graded defensive player of the PFF era and one of the most dominant players the league has ever seen,” PFF’s Jonathon Macri said. “He holds eight PFF records for his position, specifically as a pass rusher, thanks to owning all six of the best season-long pass-rush grades ever among interior defenders.
“Donald delivered nine straight seasons with at least a 90.0 PFF pass-rush grade, a feat that may never be repeated. He is one of just three interior defensive linemen to post more than 100 quarterback pressures in a season, and he did it four times in his NFL career.”
Donald was the only Rams player to make the list, but he’s arguably the best Rams player of the past 25 years anyway.
