Aaron Donald Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald leads the NFL with 267 quarterback pressures since 2016, with 69 of those coming last season, which was second in the NFL per Next Gen Stats. On top of that, Donald was double- or triple-teamed more than in any other year of his career in 2019 and still managed a league-high 84 trips inside the five-foot QB halo among all interior defenders. He got off the line of scrimmage in an average of 0.88 seconds, which was the fastest among interior defenders of those with a minimum of 200 pass rushes. The 29-year-old All-Pro can have disappointing games here and there because he's always the top priority of opposing offensive lines, but Donald is still the cream of the crop in terms of pass-rushers and remains a top-five IDP target on the defensive line.

Even though Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald ranked sixth on NFL.com's Nick Shook's top-10 pass disruptors of 2019, the five-time All-Pro is still one of the best all-around pass-rushers in the league. He played more total snaps (882) than anyone else on the list, which is why his 15.7 percent disruption rate is a little lower. Donald's 267 quarterback pressures since 2016 are the most in the NFL in that span. His 69 QB pressures were second-most in 2019, and his pressure percentage (13.5) was the highest among interior linemen with a minimum of 300 pass rushes. The 29-year-old has made the Pro Bowl in each of his six seasons and has 72 sacks so far in his career. He's the real deal and is an elite IDP defensive lineman.

Los Angeles Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald seems unconcerned about the additional pressure pandemic protocol might place on his offseason training. Appearing in a conference call with the media on Thursday, Donald not-so-subtly showed off how his offseason workouts have gone by featuring a shirtless background photo of him flexing like he's being featured in a muscle magazine. He also reassured the media members that even though the team is adopting a new defensive scheme this year, he's still going to be well-prepared for combat. While Donald's words and impressive presence can puts minds at ease, it doesn't change the fact that there are 10 other guys on defense with him who will be learning a new scheme as well. Whether that scheme will take the league by storm or get stormed remains to be seen. It's hard not to like any scheme that has No. 99 at the center of it though.
