The football world is shaking with Aaron Donald officially back in business with the Los Angeles Rams, and even Green Bay Packers superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons is on high alert.

During a recent episode of “The Edge with Micah Parsons,” the five-time Pro Bowler revisited the moment he found out that Donald is indeed back.

“I’m leaving from practice, and they show Aaron Donald’s back.  I told the O-line, we all go to the weight room, like, ‘Hey, they didn’t get the last Infinity Stone. It’s time for y’all to, like, we gotta do more at practice.'” 

Parsons seems wary of what Donald is still capable of doing on the field despite last playing an NFL game in 2023. He even used Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan to stress his point about Donald’s potential impact on Los Angeles.

“People don’t realize Jordan took three years off. Like, he still came back with championships. This could be one of those. He literally said, ‘I didn’t wanna keep dealing with triple teams and double teams.’ He does not have to do that no more,” Parsons added.

Donald is a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award winner, but he may not be as effective as he used to be. Still, even a diminished version of Donald could be better than most defensive tackles in the league today.

Parsons and the Packers will get their chances to see Donald back in action in person in a Week 12 matchup against the Rams on Nov. 25 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
