METAIRIE, La. – Sheldon Rankins laughed off the question, of course, when asked somewhat tongue-in-cheek if he is the “next Aaron Donald.”
“I would never dub myself that title,” the New Orleans Saints rookie defensive tackle said.
But, yes, of course, Donald is exactly the type of player that Rankins strives to become.
Rankins is an athletic, versatile 6-foot-2, 305-pound three-technique who was drafted with the 12th overall pick this year.
