Ex-Rams DT Aaron Donald feels 'complete' after 10-year career​


In his first interview since announcing his retirement from the NFL, former Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald said Friday he is "leaving at peace" and on his own terms.

"I'm complete," Donald said in an interview with his wife, Erica. "I'm full. I think the passion to play the game is no longer there for me. I will always love football, but to think about going through another camp and another 17-[game] season, I just don't got the urge to want to push myself to do that no more. "I'm burnt out. The best way to say it is I'm full, I'm complete. I'm satisfied with what I was able to do in 10 years." "I accomplished everything and more than I even thought was possible," Donald said. "Coming to the NFL, I just wanted to get there and be the best defensive tackle. But to be considered the best player in the National Football League, to be considered the best defensive player in the National Football League, to win as many individual accolades I did and win ... I just feel like it's nothing I didn't get to feel as an individual success to team success."

Donald announced his retirement on March 15 after 10 seasons. In those 10 seasons, Donald was a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, an eight-time first-team All-Pro, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection and the 2014 Defensive Rookie of the Year. Donald finished his career with 111 sacks, second most among primary defensive tackles in a career (behind John Randle's 137.5) since individual sacks became an official statistic in 1982. He holds the Rams' franchise record for career sacks. Last season, Donald had 8 sacks and 53 total tackles in 16 games and was named first-team All-Pro.
