Aaron Donald: “I’m exhausted”
After ten seasons at the highest level rewarded by three Defenders of the Year titles and a Super Bowl won in 2021 with the Rams, Aaron Donald (DT) no doubt had a feeling of duty accomplished.
After retiring, the Rams legend decided to give more information on his choice to bow out via an interview which will be broadcast soon.
“I am full, I am no longer hungry. I no longer have the same passion for this sport. I will always love football but I no longer have the strength to prepare for a new season. I am satisfied with what I have accomplished in ten years but I am exhausted. It’s time to start a new chapter in my life,” he says in an excerpt posted on his X account.
Aaron Donald will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in five years. No doubt he should get in the first year.
NFL in favor of new tackling regulations
A proposal to penalize the “hip-drop tackle” sparked strong reactions. This proposal aims in particular to sanction with a penalty of fifteen yards any tackle during which the defender could block the leg of the attacker by falling on him.
The NFL Players Association protested the proposal, pointing out the confusion of the rules. However, Troy Vincent, former player and current executive vice president of sports operations for the league, defended this proposal by emphasizing “ that it was the league’s duty to ban this type of tackle“. The proposal must be accepted by at least twenty-four owners to be adopted.
