Rams legend Aaron Donald plays surprise role in future of his franchise | Sporting News

Aaron Donald left an outsized legacy with the Los Angeles Rams.

And now, he's trying to pay it forward.

Donald recently worked out with Rams rising star defensive end Jared Verse, which we learned about through a hilarious social media post from Verse.

Verse had previously called Donald's gym action "old man workouts," but he got the real picture this week.

I tried to test a legend..

in @AaronDonald97 And he responded with a workout from hell.

Learned my lesson.

That's Verse's job now, though.

Verse was the 19th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

He began his college career at Albany before starring at Florida State.

He made the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

He had 4.5 sacks, 66 tackles, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

His NFL journey is just beginning, and it's awesome to see that the historically dominant defensive tackle Donald wants to help Verse out (while maybe showing him that he's still got it, too).
