After Bobby Brown III was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth round, he was asked about Aaron Donald, his new teammate. He could barely contain himself, saying “it feels like an out-of-body experience.”
He couldn’t be more excited to learn from Donald in L.A. and will do whatever it takes, even if it’s just getting him some water every game on the sideline.
“He’s been one of my favorite players for a minute, so when I watch the Rams, that’s one of the only people I really watch,” Brown said.
When the Rams took the field for their first session of OTAs on Monday, Brown finally met his idol. The Rams captured the moment on video and shared it on Twitter, which elicited a hilarious response from the rookie.

As just about every defensive lineman does, Brown plans to watch what Donald does and learn anything he can from the perennial Pro Bowler. Donald is a rare player with elite physical ability, but Brown will take anything he can learn from him and use it to improve – even if it’s just writing on a paper.
“He has a completely different body type and playstyle than I do, but I will definitely take any advice he gives me, any of it, I don’t care what it is,” he said. “He could tell me how to write on a piece of paper and I’m going to take it.”
Expect to see No. 95 next to 99 a lot this summer.
