A biography for Aaron Donaldhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm always getting doubled; I just have to find ways to beat it. Can't use that as an excuse. Still got to get to the quarterback someway, somehow.”
“I'm a football player, you know? My film talks for me.”
“I always tell my dad he was training me to be a pro before he even knew it.”
“I'm going to try and do my job and try to make as many plays as I can and help my team win.”
“You've got to have positives and negatives about you. I think that's a good negative, that the only thing they could say about me is my size.”
“Leaving a legacy behind is huge.”
“It's a lot more fun when you're winning than losing.”
“It was a dream come true to play for the University of Pittsburgh. My experience as a Panther is something that influences my life every day and I want to pay that forward.”
“My main focus is playing football and giving it all I got. I'm trying to go out there and make plays and help my team win.”
“You got to become a student of the game. You got to learn the game before you can go out there and play fast.”
“If anything, it just motivates me to work a little harder. Anytime your organization invests a big amount of money like that into you, you want to do everything and more to thank them.”
“It doesn't ever hurt to try different stuff.”
“My family, ain't no more struggling to pay this bill, pay that bill.”
“If you play against a Peyton Manning, that's a great quarterback, but I'd rather have that quarterback that stays still. You have a better chance of getting to him. The mobile quarterbacks, they do a lot of different stuff.”
“It's a headache, chasing a guy around. I'd rather play against a quarterback that sits still.”
“I don't care if it was 2 o'clock in the morning after a night game. I had to break down the film by myself before I watched it with the team. I wanted to see everything I did wrong and did right or I wouldn't be able to sleep.”
“God just blessed me with quickness and speed, I guess.”
“It's definitely tough on the pass rushers when they say you're taking a quarterback down and you fall on top of them and it's roughing the passer. Ain't really much you can say, it's just tough.”
“The big-time player makes big-time plays in big-time games and that's what we need to keep doing.”
“Any time you get a Hall of Fame player that even knows my name, you're going to be pumped up about that.”
