It is a bittersweet day.

It is sad, because one of the greatest to ever lace up the cleats, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, an eight-time All Pro and a 10-time Pro Bowler, the Los Angeles Rams Aaron Donald has announced his retirement from the NFL.

When one of the greatest players of all-time decides he has played enough, it is always sad.

Yet, as Arizona Cardinals fans, we won’t miss him two times a year at all.

If Donald is truly done his numbers are staggering:

10 years played
Defensive Rookie of the Year
111 sacks in his career
Three time Defensive Player of the Year
10 time Pro Bowler
Eight time All Pro
154 Games Played
Super Bowl Champion

He played in 20 regular season and one playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals, he finished with 16.5 sacks, 26 tackles for loss, 74 tackles, 47 solo tackles

He was a one-man wrecking crew and truly a joy to watch play, outside of those 21 games.

Good luck in whatever is next, Aaron.
