Over the past 10 years, Aaron Donald built a historically great career that will stand the test of time as one of the elite runs that a football player has ever had at the pro level. AD is no less than a top-25 player all-time, which is something that obviously only 25 players, by definition, can claim. And he belongs on the NFL’s “all-time” defense at defensive tackle.
With Donald now relaxing in retirement, as much as someone like Aaron Donald can “relax”, who carries the torch as the best active defensive player in the NFL, historically speaking?
