After watching film 6 times, Aaron Donald 'was impressed' by his debut

Aaron Donald says he played better against the Giants than he initially thought, breaking down the film 6 times.

Aaron Donald, the defensive tackle for the Rams, watched his debut game against the New York Giants a total of six times before the match. Known for his high standards, Donald felt the need to ensure he could still perform at a high level if he returned for the 2026 season. His debut was a testament to his abilities, as he finished with one pressure but had the highest pass-rush win rate of any defensive tackle in the NFL.

In a post-game interview, Donald expressed his admiration for himself, claiming he played better than he had anticipated. He broke down the tape six times, including twice with his older brother, to review his movements, assess what he could improve, and understand his current standing. Despite noting some areas for improvement, Donald was confident in his performance, stating he looked better than he had previously.

The Rams will face the Broncos in their next game, providing another challenging test for Donald and the team.
