SAD: RAMS COACH SEAN MCVAY REVEALS CLUB CHALLENGES, STATING SOLUTIONS
He stated the solutions and appeals to the fans following their loss
The Rams selected Donald with the No. 13 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, and the eight-time All-Pro spent his entire 10-year career with the team. Following the Rams’ 2021 season, which culminated with the Super Bowl LVI victory, McVay admits there was a mutual understanding between him and Donald about his future.
There was kind of an unspoken understanding — even when we convinced him to come back after we won the Super Bowl in ‘21, there was kind of always an understanding that it would be a couple of years.”
In 2022, the ten-time Pro Bowler suffered an ankle sprain in Week 13 which forced him to miss the team’s final six games of the season. In 2023, McVay said he could see Donald “savoring certain moments.”
“He had a real joy,” McVay said. “You just saw things where you could really tell he was taking it all in.”
