No one may be happier than Aaron Donald after the Los Angeles Rams overcame the Cincinnati Bengals to win Super Bowl LVI in their home at SoFi Stadium.
Donald played like a man possessed against the Bengals, racking up two sacks and clinching the game on the final play where he got home on Joe Burrow to force an incomplete pass. Donald now has a Super Bowl championship on his resume, furthering his case as the NFL’s greatest defensive player ever.
With winning a championship comes the media tour and Donald made a highly entertaining appearance on the James Corden show where he discussed a variety of topics and participated in fun challenges:

The star defensive tackle had an eventful day, going from the Rams’ championship parade to sitting courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Utah Jazz and finally appearing on James Corden’s popular late-night show. It was fun to see Donald let loose and celebrate his newly won title considering how much work he has put in to get to this point.
The one looming cloud is his potential retirement, and although it sounds like he will come back, nothing is set in stone. Donald’s decision will be a situation worth monitoring, though it is hard to imagine him leaving the game in the middle of his prime.
