Amazing video of Aaron Donald's win over LeSean McCoy in a race proves he's still got it

If we really can't see Aaron Donald on TV this year, a monthly viral video isn't the worst consolation prize.

And, dear readers, we're off to a great start. Over the weekend, a video of Donald racing against former NFL running back LeSean McCoy was released, and it is GLORIOUS. When watching this video, keep in mind that according to Google, Donald weighs almost 80 pounds more than McCoy. And McCoy was literally paid millions of dollars to be among the fastest runners in a league full of elite athletes. Like I said, just something to keep in mind. If you're in the office, though, you might want to mute the video.

Crazy. Just crazy. I know McCoy has been out of the league for a while and he's five years older, but still – he's a running back! On a 40-yard dash! And Donald is wearing jeans. Everything about this makes me think Donald doesn't have a chance. And yet, because it's Aaron Donald, not only does he win, he wins convincingly. Here he is, beating former NFL running backs on 40-yard dashes while wearing jeans and sneakers.

It warms my heart to know that even after his NFL career is over, Donald still finds a way to embarrass other NFL players. When you have as much talent for it as Donald does, it's nice to see him not give it up as soon as his career is over. I could certainly argue here that Donald is still in the best shape of his life and would probably make an All-Pro team once he puts the pads back on, but to be honest, I kind of like that about him right now. I reserve the right to change my mind if the Rams' pass rush is depressingly average this season, but right now, this is working out well for everyone. Except for LeSean McCoy.
