Los Angeles Rams Player Aaron Donald Joins Donda Sports As First Active Athlete

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is now the first active professional athlete to sign with Kanye West’s Donda Sports.

During a sit-down interview with the I Am Athlete, Donald announced the partnership, which he plans to use as an athlete but also to go into his other interests outside of football.

“It was an opportunity that came to us, me and [my wife], and it made sense. Hearing the whole spectrum of what they were going to be bringing, the whole family atmosphere that they got in Donda Sports. Not just me, but my wife being a part of that. For me, it was a no-brainer.”

Donald, a Super Bowl champion and three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, went on to say that he thinks the deal will bring him more opportunities.

“I think it’s a helluva opportunity to open up a lot of different doors and a lot of different things outside of football that I wanna be involved in, that I wanna do, that my wife wanna do. So to be a part of that, and be one of the best first athletes to be a part of that, it’s pretty dope. We’re excited about it, and we’re gonna see where this thing goes.”

He continued, opening up about his previous relationship with West.

“He cool man. He real cool. A cool dude. Got to talk a little bit. Vibe. Was at one of his video shoots. He actually wanted me to get in one of the videos, but I was like, ‘Naw.’ I was out my element. But he was cool,” said Donald. “Donda Sports is something close to him, obviously, with his mother and everything. So he definitely wants this to be something that’s top tier and something he’s serious about.”
