Donald, at his apex, was the best defensive player I've ever seen. I don't remember Reggie in his prime or it might be him.
But since about 1994 when I can really remember football players a bit better, nobody even really approaches Donald. Maybe peak JJ Watt.
The way he was able to destroy offenses while simultaneously being 100% assignment sound and just not taking plays off was really incredible.
People want to compare Jones to Donald but I really don't see a comparison. Jones is a fantastic interior pass rusher and a probable hall of famer in his own right. Aaron Donald was something different. Greatest to ever play his position and one of the best defensive players of all time.
