Rams

Aaron Donald is now returning to the Rams and spoke about his speed training, noting that his trainer doesn’t believe he has lost a step in his quickness, despite three years away from the game.

“Everybody knows I kept myself in shape, lifting weights,” Donald said, via Pro Football Talk. “Conditioning, I did condition myself. I did run full-speed on the treadmill. It was a little different transition to the grass again, running, cutting. The first day I got to train with my speed trainer since high school, he looked and me and said, ‘You ain’t missed a step.’ That’s why it was important for me to work with a guy that’s known me been around me since Day One, since high school, just to get his advice of how I’m looking, what he’s thinking.”
