Donald had an impressive Senior Bowl game yesterday. It was easy to see why he won those trophies. He was disruptive, as advertised.dead_poet wrote:Aaron Donald - DL - Player
Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald received the 2014 Senior Bowl's most dominant practice player award.
Incredibly disruptive from the interior despite a 6-foot-1, 288-pound frame and 31 3/4-inch arms, Donald earned the 2013 Bednarik, Lombardi, Nagurski, and Outland Trophies in addition to ACC Defensive POY. "He's short in stature by NFL standards and doesn't maybe have all the measurables," said Senior Bowl North Squad coach Mike Smith, "but he's one of the more explosive guys we have." It's worth noting Bengals All-Pro DT Geno Atkins measured 6-foot-1, 293 coming out of Georgia. That precedent can't hurt Donald's chances of warranting a top-15 selection in May's draft.
