**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Aaron Donald worked out for the Los Angeles Rams in training camp today. According to Adam Schafter, Donald worked out in a football helmet. He did not wear pads during the workout, but used Ram team equipment, and did the workout at their facility.
That required the Rams to report it to the NFL. Here's McVay trying, AD tried out today. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:22)
I couldn't help but note, like right before we started, I hope you're even aware of this, like the NFL transaction wire had Aaron Donald working out at the Rams today, which I guess-

**SPEAKER_3** (0:31)
Did it come across as a tryout?

**Iso Joe Johnson** (0:32)
It did come across as a tryout. Best tryout that we've ever had. Okay, you think he could make the team?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:37)
Phenomenal.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:38)
I think he could make the team.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:39)
The kid's got a shot.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:40)
Yeah, that was honestly our way of being able to get a workout with him within the parameters of what's necessary. But Giff Smith said it's the greatest tryout he's ever had.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:50)
Great.

**Chad Johnson** (0:55)
Hey, I like it. I like it.
There's a window of opportunity for the Rams. There's a window of opportunity for Stafford to get him one more ring, including McVay. Listen, Aaron Donald ain't no fool. He ain't no fool. If there's opportunity for me to get another ring with addition of Miles Garrett, who's now over here with that office they have with Pukka Devante and Brother Williams at Running Back, this is it. I don't know who wants to deal with that every Sunday.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:25)
He had to grab me 30 million. Why I'm mad at him, Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (1:29)
Come on, man.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:30)
Stop. Honestly, it's almost unfair.

**Chad Johnson** (1:33)
What you mean?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:34)
Why you say that?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:35)
It's almost unfair.

**Chad Johnson** (1:36)
You got Miles Garrett on the end. You got Aaron Donald.
I mean, man, come on, man.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:43)
Stop playing, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:45)
What's the other D in name? We had him on. Young?
I think it's Young. We had him on, Ocho. Remember, he's from Georgia, worked in a supermarket, got picked up.

**Chad Johnson** (2:01)
I forgot his name.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:02)
I think his last name is Young. I know what.
Byron Young?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:09)
Oh, Byron Young.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:11)
That sounds about right. Hey, Aaron Donald ain't fooling me, Ocho.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:17)
His ass coming back.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:18)
He coming back. I mean, you ain't doing...

**SPEAKER_5** (2:20)
Hey, Joe.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:21)
Hey. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:22)
Of course he coming back, Joe.

**Chad Johnson** (2:24)
Ain't showing up at the facility for nothing, with no hammer, though.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:26)
That's all I'm saying.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:27)
That's all I'm saying.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:28)
You know, hey, hey, hey, hey.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:30)
I ain't gonna lie.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:31)
It would have enticed me to hell if I had Miles Garrett over there. You know what I mean? I'm like, what? I can come back?

**Iso Joe Johnson** (2:36)
What?

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:39)
Man, ain't nobody going to see them Rams.
The thing is, look, I think it's going to take him a little while because you got to realize he's been away from the game for a minute. So it's going to take him some time for his spidey senses to see where that wham block coming from, to see where that pull, that scoop. Yeah. All that stuff, Ochocinco, because when you get away from it, your spidey senses don't tingle like they once did. He would know, that gap, that guard open up, he know that wham coming. He know that tight end coming in that short motion, that crank motion. He know when they would try to scoop it, when they would try to post it. He knew all that. He knew to get skinny. Yeah. I know, know, know, know. Yeah. And the one thing I will say about him, he never give you the whole man. You only get half the man.
He's like a wide receiver. Hey, if you watch him at a D tackle, his hands are unbelievable.

**Chad Johnson** (3:36)
Yeah.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:36)
His hands and his feet.

**Chad Johnson** (3:38)
The funny thing too, this might be a good thing too, Uncle Joe, for Aaron Donald. Now, I know we say him not having the spidey senses, him taking some time off. But think about what he's been able to do for his body too. Allowing his body to heal, allowing his body to recover.
