Aaron Donald<\/a> and Myles Garrett<\/a> could really do something “special” together … so says NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who tells TMZ Sports the retired defensive superstar has “plenty in the tank” if he chooses to come back to the L.A. Rams.<\/p>\n

KVN and AD were both in the NFL Draft Class of 2014 and are both 35 years old … and while the former is still active, the latter elected to hang up his helmet in 2024.<\/p>\n

There have been talks that could change after the Rams acquired Garrett from the Cleveland Browns earlier this year … and Van Noy thinks Donald is definitely capable of returning at an elite level.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He’s that good, he’s that gifted,” the two-time Super Bowl champ said at LAX this week. “I really think if he came back, him and Myles Garrett, they’d be special.”<\/p>\n

It’s pretty interesting — considering TMZ Sports got vid of Donald working out<\/a> at the Rams facility on Friday … and sources told us he was really pushing himself to the limit.<\/p>\n

We’re told Donald did plenty of conditioning during his hour-long session … and it only added to the rumors he was leaning toward a return.<\/p>\n

As for his own NFL future, Van Noy — who most recently suited up for the Baltimore Ravens — said he’s grateful to have several teams to pick from … but his heart is with the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyle Van Noy Aaron Donald Has Plenty Left In Tank Published July 12, 2026 12:15 AM PDT Play…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,88,6,9,266,4429],"class_list":["post-943395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-football","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116906133153372002","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=943395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
