The 2020 AP All-Pro teams were announced and Los Angeles Rams players Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey have both been named to the First Team after their outstanding seasons.
For Donald, this marks the sixth time in seven seasons with the Rams that he has been given All-Pro honors. As usual, he is very deserving, finishing with 13.5 sacks to go along with 14 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles.
Along with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, Donald was the only player to be unanimously voted an All-Pro this year.
He was the leading inside rusher in the NFL in nearly every Pro Football Focus category, which just goes to show how dominant he has been this season as he looks to win his third NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in the last four seasons.
As great as Donald was this season, Ramsey was just as good at the cornerback position on a Rams defense that finished as the best in the NFL. Ramsey’s stats may not be spectacular, recording 44 total tackles, one interception and nine passes defensed in 15 games, but that is because he has been so dominant that quarterbacks have not targeted whoever he is guarding.
Ramsey has shut down top receivers such as DK Metcalf and DeAndre Hopkins, establishing himself as the best cover corner in the league this season. This is Ramsey’s second time being named an All-Pro.
In a year that was filled with ups and downs for the Rams, the defense was the main reason they finished 10-6 and made the postseason, so it was good to see their two stars on that side of the ball recognized for their contributions.
