What the Jets are saying about Aaron Donald ahead of Sunday’s game

The Jets are well aware of Aaron Donald’s dominance, but Sam Darnold says it’ll be fun to face the All-Pro pass rusher.

When opponents talk about the Rams defense, it almost always starts with the big man in the middle: Aaron Donald. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year is once again having an outstanding season, leading the league with 12.5 sacks, which matches his 2019 total.

He’ll try to increase that number on Sunday against the Jets, who rank last in scoring and yards offensively. Leading up to this Week 15 matchup, Jets players and coaches discussed Donald’s game and what makes him so good.

They all recognized his rare talent, and Sam Darnold says it’ll be fun to face the menacing defensive tackle.
