Aaron Donald finished the Rams' Super Bowl victory, and his dominant front-line cross forced Joe Burrow to make a mistake in the fourth quarter, completely ruining the Cincinnati Tigers' hopes of a comeback in the final moments of the Super Bowl. After the Rams won 23-20, Donald finally got a championship ring, but that didn't dampen his desire to retire.
There had been no public indication that Donald was considering retirement until the Super Bowl, when the league's strongest player said there was a "good chance" of retiring if the Rams won the Super Bowl. On the podium after the game, Donald was surrounded by his family, including his 8-year-old daughter Jetta, and when asked about the possibility of retirement, Mr. Tang neither admitted nor denied it.
"I'm enjoying such wonderful moments right now," Donald said, "and I'm enjoying it so much that my daughter promised her when she was five years old to let her play in the flying confetti, so now we're totally immersed in joy." I want to enjoy this moment with my teammates and my family. I'm going to enjoy today, no, enjoy it for days! ”
According to the data, of the six-year, $135 million renewal contract signed by Donald in 2018, there are still $5,500 left for 3 years, most of which is not guaranteed. Since he was drafted in the first round in 2014, Donald has been in the Pro Bowl and the All-Team in a row, taking best defensive player to the soft.
It's his eighth season and second in his career to reach the Super Bowl, and he says the only thing he's missing is a championship ring. Last time, the Rams lost 3-13 to the New England Patriots, meaning Donald still hasn't fulfilled his promise to his daughter.
Asked about Donald's future, champion linebacker von Miller, who won the 50th Super Bowl MVP at the Denver Broncos, said: "I don't know, man. He did everything he could, but this feeling was absolutely unparalleled. Once you fall in love with the feeling of winning, it can be addictive. It's one thing to get into the Super Bowl, but it's another thing to win the Super Bowl. He's done so much, but I tell you, it's a great feeling, he'll only make you want to do it again more and more. It was an addictive feeling and I couldn't bear to see him leave. ”
"It means everything," Donald said of becoming a Super Bowl champion, "this team recruited me eight years ago for a chance to win the Super Bowl. From St. Louis to Los Angeles, it never changed. We brought in head coach Sean McVeigh and I remember talking to him and saying I wanted to continue to be part of the team as long as he was here. We're forming a team culture that's not built on stats, it's built on team wins. ”
