8. Aaron Donald – DT – Los Angeles Rams

There are not very many Aaron Donald’s in the NFL. His skill set is truly one of a kind. Donald led the league in sacks this year with 20.5, from the nose tackle position, which is no easy task for any defender. Donald was mostly quiet against the Cowboys, but still draws enough attention from offensive lineman to open things up for this teammates.

If the Rams are hoping to defeat the Saints then Donald will need to bring all he has against Drew Brees and this explosive Saints offense. Donald wasn’t able to do much earlier in the year when these two teams met. The Saints would go on to win that game over the Rams. Donald will have to get going this weekend.
