Aaron Donald verrät: Steelers planten 2014 Edge-Position für ihn

Aaron Donald gab in einem Podcast-Interview bekannt, dass die Pittsburgh Steelers ihn beim NFL Draft 2014 als stehenden Edge-Verteidiger einsetzen wollten, falls sie ihn ausgewählt hätten. Die Enthüllung erfolgte im Podcast „Not Just Football“ von Cam Heyward. Donald sagte, er hätte die Position trotz geringer Vorerfahrung akzeptiert.

Die Los Angeles Rams wählten Donald in jenem Jahr an 13. Stelle aus, zwei Plätze vor den Steelers, die an 15. Position dran waren. Donald erinnerte sich an Treffen vor dem Draft, bei denen die Steelers und die Arizona Cardinals ihn Linebacker-Übungen absolvieren ließen und ihn aus einer aufrechten Position (Two-Point Stance) arbeiten ließen. Er sagte den Podcast-Gastgebern, seine Antwort darauf sei gewesen, dass er überall dort spielen würde, wo das Team ihn haben wolle.
