After announcing his retirement from the NFL last week, Aaron Donald is offering insight into how he ultimately decided to walk away.
In a video clip shared on social media, Donald explained he's "burnt out" from the grind of preparing for and going through an entire season, but that he also feels "complete" with everything he accomplished over 10 seasons.
