Spotlight: What makes Aaron Donald so good?

In many ways Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is a lot like New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Taken with the 12th (Beckham) and 13th (Donald) picks of the 2014 NFL Draft, the two players have had remarkably similar careers. Both players are exceptionally athletic and productive in college, but were also knocked for being undersized for their positions at the NFL level.

Beckham exploded onto the national scene after a hamstring injury delayed his debut, but he electrified the NFL on his way to becoming the offensive rookie of the year and a trip to the Pro Bowl.
