“Are You Serious”: Aaron Donald’s Wife’s Response to Retirement Stir Leaves NFL World in Hangs

Aaron Donald caused quite a few heartbeats to skip in the Los Angeles area this week. A social media mishap led to massive panic among the LA Rams‘ fanbase. And AD’s wife, Erica Donald, couldn’t help but laugh at the entire confusion arising from a botched bio update. However, fans did not find this funny and were seriously worried.

Moreover, No 99 was a crucial force in bringing the Lombardi Trophy to Los Angeles last year. Widely considered to be one of the greatest defensive tackles to have ever played the game, the LA crowd didn’t expect to see the word ‘former’ preceding Aaron Donald’s usual ‘NFL D Linemen for the Rams’ bio on his social media platforms.

Aaron Donald played a cruel prank on his fans

Last week, the Super Bowl LVI champion sent the NFL world into a frenzy after editing his bio on Twitter. For a moment, AD’s bio showed “former NFL D Linemen for the Rams #99“. And this was enough to start the panic and rumors.

Rams fans assumed retirement or worse, competition. Furthermore, some fans even called Aaron Donald a “quitter“ for this momentary error.

However, Aaron Donald edited his bio within 10 minutes after the damage was already done. And fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, some fans even blamed Erica Donald for being the true puppet master in this prank. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

AD’s retirement talks also came up during the chaotic ten minutes

Aaron Donald’s defensive prowess was instrumental in the 23-20 Super Bowl win against Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals in February. Along with Von Miller, AD formed a pass-rushing partnership, which was a nightmare for opposition quarterbacks. Donald and Miller both had 2 sacks each against Burrow in the championship game. However, after Von Miller’s departure for Buffalo this off-season, AD is left to man the charge all alone.

Also, some fans thought maybe the change in bio was an indirect retirement announcement. Besides, Aaron Donald has missed the last few weeks of game action due to a high ankle sprain. And the 31-year-old DPOY and 9-year veteran won’t surprise many if he hung up his cleats tomorrow.

The Rams had a troublesome season this year with QB Matthew Stafford being ruled out mid-season. Also, Super Bowl LVI MVP Cooper Kupp’s season was cut short by a broken ankle injury towards the first part of the season. And this has left the light shining on AD. However, with the edit to the bio, Donald looks set to carry on with renewed strength next season. And Rams fans can relax.
