Aaron Donald --> Warren Sapp

Aaron Donald

Height: 184.7 cm
Weight: 20.3 stone

Speed: 4.65 seconds


Mini Chalk: Aaron Donald could be one of the most exciting players in this years draft. I am going to compare him with Warren Sapp because Warren Sapp is a dominant 3-gap player, perhaps the most dominant. I think this kid rivals what he can do. He is slippery, strong, and a force in the backfield all day long. He spends the weekends there, literally. Not that funny, ha! I think he is scheme versatile and is so versatile he could probably even play some 3-4 ILB. He could be like a Levon Kirkland in that mold. He has the short-area quickness to pull it off! That's why when you say a statement like that then you know for damn sure he can play along the defensive line and will cause those big saltys a tough time. And he doesn't lack the strength for the DL and he doesn't have short arms either. His short size is ideal, given his strength/arm length, at the nose tackle position because he can drive out low and get under your pads every play. Every. Single. play. You can't stop him, literally, because he is shorter than you, yet, stronger, and faster at the same time. How the hell does that happen? Oh yeah and he could play 3-4 DE or 4-3 DT. A 4-3 DT in a four man rush only the QB wouldn't have a chance. Smart teams gobble up guys like this because I want to run a 4-3 4 man rush and then switch up the next play and run 2 DL and have a crazy zone blitz. Guys like that you can't put a value on them. There should be no question to his ability as he did win four postseason awards. I guess the guy can play!
