Can you name every starter on Rams 2014 defense? Aaron Donald did it.
Can you name every starter on the 2014 (then St. Louis) Rams defense?
Well, Aaron Donald made it look pretty easy in an interview at the AD99 Foundation’s Top 50 Camp in Pittsburgh, PA last week:

The first question was on the quarterback in which Donald earned his first-career sack—Josh McCown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Next, the interviewer asked who was the Los Angeles Rams’ QB in the same game. This is trickier because Sam Bradford was injured and Austin Davis started for a stretch in replacement. Donald still nailed it.
More impressive was the fact Donald recalled the final score in that game against Tampa Bay. He perfectly answered with a 19-17 finish. According to Scorigami, only 60 NFL contests have finished with such a score.
But don’t worry, it gets even better.
From Kendall Langford to EJ Gaines, the future hall of famer was able to name all eleven starters on the Rams defense that day. Donald officially came off the bench, and he even recalled that Chris Long was injured and William Hayes filled in.
While much has been made of Sean McVay’s extraordinary memory, maybe it’s time that Donald starts to get some credit for himself.
Donald’s camp is invite-only to the top offensive and defensive linemen across the country.
