With Rams since: 2014.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Although Donald entered the NFL three full seasons after Watt did, Donald has played 138 regular-season games to Watt’s 149, so we can almost go apples to apples on their careers, even if they played slightly different positions.
Watt actually leads Donald in sacks (111.5 to 103), forced fumbles (27 to 24), fumble recoveries (17 to 7) and, for good measure, interceptions (2 to 0) and points scored (38 to 2). Their playoff production is fairly comparable statistically, even if Donald’s Super Bowl dominance in February stand out against Watt’s lack of appearances on that stage.
But what gives Donald the slightest of edges in our view is the season-to-season consistency. Whereas Watt’s mid-career injuries kept him from playing in 42 of a possible 97 games from 2016 to 2021, Donald has missed only six career games (and counting) in his nine NFL seasons.
We don’t know if Donald will continue playing after this season, but he’s a singular, generational talent whose dominance inside as a 3-technique stacks up against the best of the very best all time at that spot.
