Aaron Donald has had a Hall of Fame career, and he’s only 30. He checks all the boxes: Three defensive player of the year; eight Pro Bowls; seven All-Pros; defensive rookie of the year in 2014; all-decade for the 2010s; 98 career sacks; one of the best defensive players in history.

Only one thing is missing: He has played in one Super Bowl but left without a ring.

“I know what it feels like to be there, but I don’t know what it feels like to win,” Donald said, via Jourdan Rodrigue of TheAthletic.com. “I feel like I accomplished a lot in a short amount of time in this league.

“The only thing I’m lacking now is being a world champion.”

The Rams want to get a championship for themselves, of course, but they also want to help Donald cap his career.

“This building wants to win for Aaron Donald, to create more for his legacy and what he’s done,” defensive coordinator Raheem Morris said. “Our people in PR, community relations, the football office, ops, everything that we have, the training room, his players, his brothers — we want to win for Aaron Donald.”

The Patriots did a good job against Donald in Super Bowl LII, limiting him to a five tackles and a quarterback hit in New England’s 13-3 win.

“I remember watching Aaron Donald’s face because they kept showing him on television,” Morris said. “Looked into his eyes, and I felt that hurt. I felt that pain.

“And when I got here, that was the first thing that I said to him. I said, ‘I’m going to do everything in my power, everything possible, to help you win a championship.’ And I mean that. And my feet are easily in their place because when I think about that guy and what it means to him, and what I will do to try to help him win a championship.”

Von Miller won his ring in Super Bowl 50 in spectacular fashion, with 2.5 sacks, two of which resulted in Denver touchdowns, six tackles and a Super Bowl MVP award in the Broncos’ victory over the Panthers.

He wants another . . . and a first for Donald.

“That’s really all we talk about,” Miller said of his relationship with Donald. “Everything that I talk to him about is about winning a Super Bowl. How can I help him be a better Aaron Donald? How can he make me a better Von Miller? Our whole friendship is about winning this Super Bowl.”
