OT: Aaron Donald Signs With The Rams

[OldEngland]

I was going to say it must be nearly impossible to back to such a high level after two years out in your 30s. I've seen many elite stars realise they are not at the same level and get frustrated. But some superstar sportsman such as Jordan (especially the first time), Phelps and Foreman were still hugely successful and champions after some time away.

I was trying to research if anyone had come out of retirement for a lengthy time in the nfl. Sanders, Weddle, Reggie White and Rivers are the only ones that come to mind.

Aaron Donald is an extraordinary athlete plus they have Myles Garrett. Pray our OL don't have to face them.

I wouldnt expect a top 3 Linemen of all time level of play from Donald, but he retired at his peak and had 2 years off without the wear and tear. He's kept in shape as well a 80 percent Donald with Garrett on the line is crazy to think about. Good luck Olines if that happens

The Pats won't unless both get in the SB. Broncos, Bills, Chargers and Chiefs are on the Rams schedule though.

Byron Young had 12 sacks last year. Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske and Poona Ford are in that DL rotation. That line is going to be a beast.
