One of the best defensive players in the National Football League, Aaron Donald has decided to call it a career after 10 years of dominance. Among the top accolades that he earned was 10 Pro Bowl appearances, eight-time first-team All-Pro nominations, three Defensive Player of the Year awards and the 2014 Defensive Rookie of the Year.
However, he admits that he thought about the possibility of joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they held the 14th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. But instead, he wad drafted by the Rams; the Steelers had the next pick and they selected LB Ryan Shazier out of Ohio State.
“Probably my third year in the league,” Donald said of when he thought of the chances of playing for Pittsburgh. “We wasn’t a good team and we started talking about contract stuff. And I didn’t know if I was going to stay with the Rams. Because I wanted to win, be with a winning team. I flirted with the idea a little bit, maybe I could go home and play for the Steelers.”
How awesome would it have been to have seen Donald suit up for the Steelers as one of the League's best defensive players?
