Aaron Donald 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
He won the Outland Trophy for the NCAA’s top interior lineman in 2013.
Aaron started his career from his High Schol and played for Andrew Slome.
Donald’s older brother, Archie Jr., had a less successful football career; he was a star linebacker at Toledo who, according to ESPN writer Alden Gonzalez, “bounced around the NFL as an undrafted free agent until retiring in 2012”.
The brothers, who shared bunk beds in their childhood, frequently thought about one day helping their parents retire, which according to Gonzalez became one of the driving forces in Aaron’s career.
On April 27, 2020, Donald revealed on Twitter that he had graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in communications.
A native of Pittsburgh, Donald grew up as one of three children in a working-class family in the city’s Lincoln–Lemington–Belmar neighborhood.
His father Archie introduced Aaron to workouts, seeking to provide more structure in his son’s life.
Aaron himself would later admit that he was “lazy as a kid”.
By age 14, he and his father woke up at 4:30 am and worked out for nearly two hours in the basement gym that Archie installed in the family home.
Donald attended Penn Hills High School, where he played high school football for head coach Ron Graham.
He was selected first team All-State Class AAAA in each of his final two seasons, and compiled 63 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks as a senior.
He also started at offensive guard.
Considered a three-star prospect by Rivals, he was rated as the 37th best defensive tackle in the nation.
He committed to hometown Pittsburgh over other scholarship offers from Toledo, Akron, and Rutgers.
Aaron Donald is an American football defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL).
He played college football at Pittsburgh, where he was recognized as a unanimous All-American.
He was drafted by the Rams with the thirteenth pick in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
He has been selected to seven Pro Bowls in his seven years into the league, won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and has been named AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year three times, having won it back-to-back in 2017 and 2018, and again in 2020.
Donald has been cited as one of the greatest defensive tackles of all time.
