Myles Garrett: Offenses have to 'pick their poison' with me and Aaron Donald

Myles Garrett can't wait to suit up alongside Aaron Donald for the first time this Sunday, saying they'll "have some fun" together.

The Los Angeles Rams will witness Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald play together for the first time as teammates when they face the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The two are the first multi-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year winners to be paired together, with the aim of securing the Rams' first winning record of the season.

The acquisition of Garrett was the key factor in Donald's decision to return to the team after a two-year retirement. On Friday, Garrett commented on the upcoming match-up, stating that offenses will have to choose between guarding against the duo. Both Garrett and Donald believe they are skilled at winning one-on-one matchups, so the competition should be thrilling.

Garrett expressed excitement about playing alongside Donald for the first time, remarking that it will be surreal. The Los Angeles Rams plan to focus pressure on the quarterback, rather than blitzing, giving them an edge in the secondary. Though Donald missed the team's opening game in Australia, he is eager to get back on the field and contribute to the Rams' campaign.

With key players Jaylen Watson, Kobie Turner, and Poona Ford sidelined, Garrett's performance will be crucial for the team's chances of making a championship run.
