Aaron Donald is still Aaron Donald no matter how much Aaron Donald ya get … so says Shawne Merriman, who tells TMZ Sports even if the All-Pro defensive tackle comes back at 80% — he’s one of the best players in the NFL.
The Los Angeles Rams legend has been flirting with the idea of a return ever since the Myles Garrett trade earlier in the offseason … and the chatter intensified when he had an official tryout this week.
We asked the Chargers great what he thought of the potential reunion … and he believes Donald can dominate two years removed from his last snap.
Pairing Donald with Garrett — the reigning Defensive Player of the Year — should have the NFC West worried, Merriman said … and he’s confident the comeback is serious, not a joke.
Speaking of Garrett, Merriman thinks No. 95 could break his own sack record again this year.
As for someone who retired twice — Tom Brady — Merriman also weighed in on the G.O.A.T.’s potential WWE run … and coming from someone who wrecked quarterbacks for a living, his take might surprise you!!
