Aaron Donald still has not announced if he is coming out of retirement to return to the Los Angeles Rams this season. But former Rams Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis believes Donald will ultimately decide to suit up for LA this season.
Bettis said Donald will most likely return later in the season. The Rams already started preseason games, and the team's regular season opener against the San Francisco 49ers is less than three weeks away.
“All the indications tell you what you want to know,” Bettis said to the New York Post at the Harold & Carole Pump Foundation on Thursday. “He’s out there, he’s getting himself in shape. So I would expect to see him probably not sooner than later, but probably at some point later in the year.”
The Rams already have one of the best defensive units in the NFL after acquiring two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett, this offseason. Bettis said adding Donald into the mix would make LA even stronger.
“It makes them dynamic,” Bettis said, “because Aaron Donald was a one-man wrecking crew and now it becomes a two-man wrecking crew.”
Donald is a three-time NFL DPOY, so pairing him with Garrett would equip the Rams with one of the best defensive duos in NFL history as LA looks to win the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium this season.
