Pitt alum and Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald wrapped up the eighth regular season of his NFL career on Sunday, and on Friday, he was honored as a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press for the seventh consecutive season. Donald was also one of five unanimous first-team selections.
Donald’s feat is unprecedented in the Super Bowl era, as he is the first defensive player in that time period to earn first-team All-Pro honors in seven straight seasons. In addition, Donald has made the Pro Bowl in each of his eight seasons in the NFL, and after being named the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, he has since been named the Defensive Player of the Year in 2017, 2018 and 2020.
