Aaron Donald is 32 years old. The defensive tackle for the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League was born on the <\/strong>23rd day of May 1991.<\/strong><\/p>\n Born on the 23rd of May 1991, Aaron Donald is 32 years old. He was called Aaron Charles Donald at his birth which occurred in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. With this said, Donald is obviously an American citizen, though his physical appearance is an indication of his African-American ethnicity.<\/p>\n The son of Archie Donald and his wife, Anita Goggins, Donald spent his formative years alongside two siblings. Though his father is in paid employment, he once played collegiate football but never went professional with his ambition.<\/p>\n According to the NFL player, his dad takes the credit for introducing him to workouts at the tender age of 12. At that age, he would wake up at 4:30 am alongside his dad and proceed to spend the ensuing two hours working out in the makeshift gym his dad installed in their basement. Though Donald admits to being lazy as a kid, that early morning exercise helped in shaping him into the successful player he is today.<\/p>\n Aaron Donald became a professional football player when he was 23 years old. This was in 2014 when the Defensive Tackle was drafted with the 13th overall pick by the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League.<\/p>\n Aaron set the record at the NFL Combine for the fastest 40-yard-dash time for a DT with 4.68. Tank Johnson previously held the record by running a 4.69 in 2004.<\/p>\n The Defensive Tackle started his stint with the Rams during the 2014 season, inking a four-year rookie contract worth $10.13 million on the 16th of June 2014. The deal also comprised a $5.69 million signing bonus, including a fifth-year option.<\/p>\n After recording three successful seasons with the Rams, Donald inked his second deal with them on the 31st of August 2018. This time around, it was a six-year contract extension worth $135 million with $87 million guaranteed. This particular deal distinguished him as the highest-earning defensive player in the History of the National Football League. Aaron Donald was 27 at that time. This exalted position lasted for one day as Khalil Mack\u2019s $141 deal with Chicago Bears overrode it.<\/p>\n So far, Donald has spent eight seasons with the Rams, and on the 7th of June 2022, the club re-negotiated his 2018 contract extension of $135 million, which has added an extra $40 million over the ensuing three years; this set him apart as the foremost non-quarterback player to average above $30 million per season<\/p>\n Aaron\u2019s effort in the NFL did not go unnoticed, as the Defensive Tackle swept a good number of awards.
