We have another Donald coming through the footbal pipeline at Pitt. Supposedly he's better than AD, when AD was 18 yrs old. He's a little taller than Aaron and seems to have the same inner drive that his uncle has.....

Go ahead and ink a deal?

I don't care how many 1st rounders we have to trade, get him when he enters the draft.

So it's possible we could have both of them on the same line? Sign me up.

Fellas, fellas...

When Bodacious the bull was retired they took many semen straws from him. Bodacious sired many bulls. In the end there is only one Bodacious.

Well, you could be right. He might only be as good as John Randle....

I'd be excited if my team got him. I don't see him being a DT though. He looks more like a ILB/OLB to me. He doesn't have the same build as his uncle.

He’s putting on muscle right now, so who knows when he’s ready for the draft?

“He looks more like”… Said too many GM’s in 2014…

There's a reason those smaller undersized DT's are few and far between. Aaron Donald is a very unique talent.

Khalen Saunders of the Chiefs had comparisons to Donald coming out. But even he is like 330.

There's a lot of players coming into the draft lately that have been compared to Donald. But the reality is that none of them will even be close.

Genetics matter. If you watch Elliot Donald work out with AD, he matches him stride for stride, move for move in a couple of drills. That doesn't necessarily prove anything, but I have seen some Rams dlinemen who looked like oafs trying to match AD when training with him in Pittsburgh. Elliot may not turn into anything, but I have a quiver in my liver that tells me to keep an eye on him....
