Aaron Donald, a legendary Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle who recently retired from the NFL, opened up about his dislike for playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, particularly center Jason Kelce, during a conversation on Green Light with Chris Long, presented by Yote House Media.
Donald expressed his frustration with Kelce’s quick and aggressive playing style, noting how Kelce would immediately engage with him after snapping the ball instead of letting his guards handle the defense. Donald mentioned that facing the Eagles meant rarely getting one-on-one matchups, as Kelce’s strategy involved ensuring Donald was constantly double or triple-teamed, making it challenging for him to make a significant impact during those games.
Despite this rivalry on the field, there is mutual respect between Donald and Kelce, evident from Kelce’s acknowledgment of Donald’s impact on games, even if he didn’t always record sacks against the Eagles. Both players have retired this offseason and are considered likely Hall of Famers, showcasing their admiration and respect for each other’s contributions to the sport.
