No way in hell is Donald the best ever. Honestly doesn't even make my top 10.

Cornerbacks
Middle Linebackers
DE/OLB

Those position's have priority over DT on my list.

There are only 3 players to have 3 Defensive Players of the Year in NFL History (one being Donald), and he doesn't make your top 10?!

LOL.

I could name 10 better 49er defenders lol

Bless your heart

One of the best ever...

The absolute best is still up for debate

Love him but nowhere close. AD is up there with guys like LT, Reggie White, Deion, Ray Lewis and very few others.
He's making a strong case. The guy took over the NFCCG and closed out the super bowl. Gave sideline speech fired up his whole team. Then went out and backed it up in the biggest moment.
Who?

Lt
Lott
Ed Reed
Sanders
Mean Joe Green
Reggie white
Ray Lewis

Those are great players. Donald not even top 10

Smith on the Donald level imo

Better 49ers

Rod Woodson
Kevin Greene
Deion Sanders
Ronnie Lott
Fred Dean
Bryant Young
Patrick Willis
Nick Joey
Merton Hanks
Bowman
Likely Warner just give him time
Smith

straight off the old dome..

also none of those guys got ejected for roid rage or had suspiciously large heads

You don't actually believe this lmao
He is a great player, but honestly I think Justin Smith and Bryant Young were just as good. Patrick Willis was a better overall defensive player.

Then there are non-49ers.... JJ Watt in his prime was easily better. I can't think of a better player that just wrecked games from the DT spot than JJ Watt.

As for non-DT, LT is hands down the best.

Deion Sanders was 10x better than Aaron Donald. I take one Deion over 10 Donalds. He's regarded as the greatest cover corner of all time and this doesn't even get into his return ability which was arguably the greatest in NFL history.

This is just haterism because he plays for a rival. I can't say he's been better than some of the other famers at their peak, but he's up there and will when it's all said and done.

Rams are on the line and they are offering you Aaron Donald via trade. They want Nick Bosa. What do you do? I would laugh and hang up the phone but that's just me.

I'd make the move in a hear beat. Bosa is great but Donald is on another level. Maybe Nick gets there some day but he's not even the the best guy at his position in the league and that's exactly what Donald is today and has been since his 2nd season on.
No wonder why so many other fan bases think we are clueless about football
