Aaron Donald is a beast. Coming out of Pitt, scouts said he was too much of a tweener–too small to play defensive tackle, but not quick enough to play end.
Where are those haters now?
Donald ravaged the league as a rookie, racking up 48 tackles, two forced fumbles and nine sacks. The scary thing is that he will only get better in his sophomore season.
For most of the preseason, the Seahawks offensive line was in shambles. Donald and the rest of his crew (Robert Quinn, Chris Long and Michael Brockers) will have their way with the Seahawks in the trenches.
Keep an eye on number 99. If he can clog up running lanes for Marshawn Lynch and put Russell Wilson under pressure, the Seahawks could be in big, big trouble.
