The "Aaron Donald effect" explains why a Myles Garrett trade could be terrifying for the rest of the NFL. Dante Fowler posted a career-high 11.5 sacks in his first full year next to Aaron Donald ā after a Jacksonville run where his best was 8. Leonard Floyd had 18.5 sacks in four Chicago seasons, then 10.5 in his first year next to Donald alone.
Why? Donald drew double and triple teams every snap, leaving edge rushers in one-on-ones. Now the Los Angeles Rams have traded for Myles Garrett ā coming off a record 23-sack season and a 2nd Defensive Player of the Year ā with no Donald-level interior threat beside him. If Aaron Donald comes out of retirement, defenses can't double both.
Garrett breaking his own sack record, or is the Donald effect overrated? Let us know below.
