Aaron Donald is one of the greatest defensive players in the history of football.

Lately, he's been getting plenty of recognition for that, too.

A few weeks ago, he stopped by the University of Pittsburgh for recognition at his college home.

Then he made a visit to the Los Angeles Rams, where he had a bobblehead night and some more public honoring.

Donald deserves every bit of it. There have been few interior defensive linemen like him, ever.

And he sure looks like he could still play. Could he?

Will Aaron Donald return to play after retiring?

There is no publicly reported indication that Donald is seeking a comeback.

The rumor has begun from this post on X, which has nearly three million views:

This account frequently shares accurate data and facts, yet its source remains unidentified. Tracing this information back on X has not yielded an origin point.

Donald could likely still perform effectively if he returned to play. His training footage remains remarkably striking.

But until news like this comes from the major NFL reporters, it's hard to read too deep into it.
