Los Angeles Rams: Video of Aaron Donald shows defender remains in great shape
By Dan Parzych
As Aaron Donald continues to wait for a new contract from the Los Angeles Rams, at least a workout video posted to his Instagram shows the defensive star is still putting in the necessary work.
For the second offseason in a row, Los Angeles Rams fans are left wondering how this whole situation with Aaron Donald is going to turn out, as the defensive superstar finds himself looking for a new contract once again.
It was one thing for the Rams to hold off a year ago since Donald still had two years remaining on his rookie contract, but the circumstances are much different this time around.
As Donald heads into his final year of the deal, the last thing Los Angeles can afford to do is make him unhappy about his contract situation, especially if he were more likely to holdout longer this time around.

After missing all of training camp and preseason last summer, it was amazing to see Donald still look like his usual self during the regular season, showing once again that he has one of the best work ethics in the NFL.
Despite all of the recent frustration surrounding Donald being absent from mandatory minicamp along with the risk the Rams put themselves in for another holdout during training camp, at least Los Angeles feels confident enough in their beloved defender staying in great shape.
In fact, Donald recently uploaded a video of himself on social media working the bench press to show once again just how much of a freak of nature he truly is.
From what it looks like, Donald is nearing the 500-pound mark on the bench press with those reps, which is absolutely insane to think about. Over the years, Donald has posted plenty of amazing videos to give fans a little taste of what his workouts are like, and this recent one is just as awesome as the rest.
With that being said, here’s to hoping the Rams can somehow figure out a way to come to an agreement on a new deal for Donald before the start of training camp since the two parties seem to have been in talks dating back to the middle of last season.
