Aaron Donald was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams (formerly St. Louis Rams) as the 13th pick of the first round in the 2014 NFL draft, and since then, he has been in the league.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He is an NFL defensive player from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and he still plies his trade with the Los Angeles Rams in the National Football League. He was just 23 years old at the time he was drafted and has been named Defensive Player of the year three times – amongst other awards.<\/p>\n

Aaron Donald Was Drafted In 2014<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The National Football League (NFL) Draft is an annual event where teams select players. Following an outstanding collegiate career and his amazing performance at the NFL Combine where he set the record for fastest 40-yard dash time for a defensive tackle with a 4.68,\u00a0Aaron Donald was full of anticipation.<\/p>\n

And thankfully, but unsurprisingly, in May 2014, during the NFL draft that year, he was selected by St Louis Rams – now Los Angeles Rams. He came second place among all the defensive tackle candidates on the SB Nation top 200 big board. Also, he was picked with the 13th overall pick in the first round. At that time, he was just 23 years old.<\/p>\n

After the draft, he signed a 4-year, fully guaranteed $10.13 million amateur contract with the Los Angeles Rams, in June. The contract included a $5.69 million signing bonus as well as an option to extend by a year.<\/p>\n
