<p>Tears flow as Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford &; Rams players reveal NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD stories about Aaron Donald’s insane impact ahead of his emotional ring of honor ceremony on Sunday Night Football vs Buccaneers. This tribute will break you!</p>



<p>The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for one of the most emotional nights in franchise history this Sunday when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Before kickoff, the greatest defensive player of this generation, Aaron Donald, will officially enter the Rams Ring of Honor in a ceremony that has players and coaches fighting back tears all week. &#8220;I still can’t believe he’s not walking through that door,&#8221; Matthew Stafford said Tuesday, voice cracking when asked about practicing without No. 99. &#8220;Every single day for years I looked over and saw the best football player on the planet on my team. Now he’s gone and we’re still trying to figure out how to play without him.&#8221; Head coach Sean McVay became visibly emotional when reflecting on Donald’s sudden retirement after the 2023 season. &#8220;Aaron didn’t just dominate games, he dominated the entire culture of our building,&#8221; McVay said. &#8220;He made everyone better just by existing. The standard he set is something we chase every single day and probably never reach again.&#8221; Young defensive linemen like Kobie Turner and Byron Young openly admit they still watch Donald film religiously. &#8220;He texts me after every game telling me what I did wrong,&#8221; Turner laughed through tears. &#8220;Man retired and still coaching harder than half the coaches in the league.&#8221; Even offensive players who faced Donald in practice every day for years are struggling. Cooper Kupp revealed that the offense used to have a running joke: &#8220;If Aaron gets three sacks in practice, we don’t have to run gassers.&#8221; &#8220;He got three almost every Thursday,&#8221; Kupp said shaking his head. &#8220;We ran a lot of gassers.&#8221; The stories kept pouring out all week. Puka Nacua told reporters Donald personally called him the night he was drafted in 2024 just to say, &#8220;I’m retiring so this is your time now, go be great.&#8221; Nacua said he still has that voicemail saved and listens to it before every game. Veteran leader Demarcus Robinson summed it up best: &#8220;We didn’t just lose a player, we lost the heartbeat of the Rams.&#8221; Sunday night against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers, SoFi Stadium will be electric when Donald’s name is unveiled in the Ring of Honor alongside legends like Merlin Olsen, Jack Youngblood, and Deacon Jones. Expect a sea of No. 99 jerseys and probably more than a few grown men crying on national television. Aaron Donald never wanted the spotlight, but this weekend the football world finally gets to tell him thank you the only way the Rams know how, loudly, proudly, and forever.</p>
