Aaron DonaldDLFA
If Aaron Donald unretires, realistic snap count projection is around 60% snap share with the Rams' defensive line composition of Poona Ford, Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, and edge rushers Myles Garrett and Byron Young; this translates to approximately 30-40 snaps per game, up in competitive or pass-heavy matchups but reduced in blowouts. Historical baseline: Donald averaged 847 snaps per year across 10 seasons (49-50 snaps per game), with career high 90.4% in 2018 (914 snaps) and low of 67.4% as a rookie in 2014 (707 snaps). At 35 years old, some regression in ability/performance is expected, though the Rams believe Donald remains a top-5 defensive tackle even with decline.
