Los Angeles Rams star DT Aaron Donald just recently announced his retirement as one of three people in NFL history to win three Defensive Player of the Year Awards—but he believes Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt should have joined him by now, if not, indeed, replaced him in that group.
Donald won the award three times in a four-year span, his final honor coming in 2020. Watt finished second to him before winning his first Defensive Player of the Year Award a year later. In an extensive interview for the Rams’ website, he acknowledged Watt as the game’s great defender today.
