Aaron Donald clearly hasn’t lost a step in retirement. He’s still the freakishly athletic human that he always was during his 10-year career in the NFL.
Just how fast is Donald? He and former NFL star running back LeSean McCoy recently raced in a parking lot and it was Donald who crossed the finish line first – and he was wearing jeans. That’s a 280-pound defensive tackle beating a former running back who ran a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash at the 2009 NFL combine.
Most people Donald’s size can’t move as fast as he can, but that’s what made him such a rare player. He has 4.68 speed and the strength of a 330-pound nose tackle, a deadly combination that kept offensive linemen up at night.

Here’s another angle of the race from DeSean Jackson’s perspective at the finish line. Clearly, Donald beat his fellow Pitt Panther.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see who wins the rematch. Our money is on Donald again.
