Donald Returns, Scouts Split on Impact

Aaron Donald has ended his retirement and rejoining the Los Angeles Rams after two years away, creating debate among NFL scouts about his expected performance.

The three-time Defensive Player of the Year spent 14 weeks in intense workouts before returning. While some scouts expect Donald to be a difference-maker despite his age, others are more cautious. 'If one man can do it – it's AD,' one scout said, noting he should be a rotational player initially.

However, a league source suggested he might only play 35-40% of defensive snaps, questioning how many great 35-year-old defensive players exist in the NFL. Donald played at least 67% of defensive snaps in each previous season. amunra.qpon
