At age 31, Aaron Donald has won enough accolades to be mentioned among the pro football greats. Donald, a defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams, has been the N.F.L. defensive player of the year three times — tied for the most with Lawrence Taylor and J.J. Watt. Donald has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his eight N.F.L. seasons so far. And last season, he racked up two sacks as the Rams won the Super Bowl, beating the Cincinnati Bengals.
On Sunday, he added to his Hall of Fame résumé when he got around Arizona Cardinals offensive guard Will Hernandez and tripped Kyler Murray as the quarterback was escaping the pocket, collecting his 100th career regular-season sack.
