    Aaron Donald announces his retirement

    wow!

    Aaron Donald has decided to hang up his cleats.

    After 10 seasons, the three-time AP defensive player of the year and Super Bowl LVI champion has announced his retirement on Friday.

    “Throughout my career, I have given my everything to football both mentally and physically — 365 days a year was dedicated to becoming the best possible player I could be,” Donald said in a statement released on social media. “I respected this game like no other and I’m blessed to be able to conclude my NFL career with the same franchise that drafted me. Not many people get drafted to a team, win a World Championship with that team and retire with that team. I do not, and will not, take that for granted.”

    The No. 13 overall pick of the 2014 draft, Donald made an immediate impact with 9.0 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, and 13 quarterback hits to win AP defensive rookie of the year. He was named a first-team All-Pro for the first of eight times in 2015.

    One of the best D players I’ve ever seen. I’d probably put him in my top 3.

    I don't think there's any question he's the best DT of all time.
