When you're Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, NFL offensive linemen are nothing compared to a guy who's trying to block you with knives in hand.

Brown later confirmed Donald was facing knives and this wasn't some elaborate April Fools' Day prank, though we be surprised if they were real knives:

Donald has become one of the NFL's best players and registered 39 career sacks since entering the league in 2014.
