Before Aaron Donald was wrecking games for the Los Angeles Rams en route to eight All-Pro seasons, three AP Defensive Player of the Year awards and a Super Bowl title, he was causing chaos in the college ranks as a Pittsburgh Panther.
Now, in his second year of retirement, Donald will be honored by his alma mater with Pittsburgh set to retire his No. 97. Donald saw action in all four of his years at Pitt, and as a senior led the entire FBS in tackles-for-loss with 29 to go with his 11 sacks (his second 11-sack season as a Panther).
Which brings us to today’s quiz. The Rams selected Donald with the 13th-overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, and he immediately rewarded them with a Defensive Rookie of the Year performance and the first of his 10 Pro Bowl campaigns. With that being said, can you name every NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year since 2000?
Good luck!
