Aaron Donald revela que os Steelers planejavam usá-lo como edge em 2014

Aaron Donald revelou durante uma entrevista em podcast que o Pittsburgh Steelers pretendia utilizá-lo como um edge player em posição vertical caso fosse selecionado no Draft da NFL de 2014. A revelação foi feita no podcast Not Just Football, de Cam Heyward. Donald disse que teria aceitado a posição, apesar da experiência limitada na função.

O Los Angeles Rams selecionou Donald na 13ª escolha geral daquele ano, duas posições antes de os Steelers escolherem na 15ª. Donald relembrou reuniões pré-draft em que os Steelers e o Arizona Cardinals o fizeram realizar exercícios de linebacker e trabalhar em uma posição de dois pontos de apoio. Ele contou aos apresentadores do podcast que respondeu dizendo que jogaria onde quer que a equipe quisesse que ele jogasse.
