<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/aaron-donald-446/">Aaron Donald</a> believes the Los Angeles Rams can make a Super Bowl run this fall. During a Raising Cane’s event in Burbank, California, earlier this month, On3 asked the former Rams defensive lineman what he expects from the Rams in 2025. 



“A better year,” Aaron Donald told On3 and other reporters. “Obviously, the offense is going to be stand-packed. Still got a lot of veteran guys, a lot of good players. But when it pertained to the defense, had a young defense that pressed a lot of people. Now they’re coming back for a second year together. They got that experience with each other. 



“I know they’re going to be that much better with each other. The more you play with the team, play with guys, the more comfortable you feel. You understand. How to play off guys, and do things like that. So I’m hoping that it’s going to be a better year than what it was last year, and it was a pretty good year. So I’m just going to be, as a fan in the stands, or on the couch watching, cheering them on. That’s it. But sky’s the limit for them guys.”

2024 was the first year that the Rams didn’t have Donald on the roster since selecting him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. The team won the NFC West and lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round of the playoffs. 



If the Rams make a run at the Super Bowl, a player to watch is<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jared-verse-150077/"> Jared Verse.</a> The Rams selected the former <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/florida-state-seminoles/">Florida State</a> defensive lineman in the first round of last year’s draft and was named<a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/rams-pass-rusher-jared-verse-named-2024-ap-nfl-defensive-rookie-of-the-year"> Defensive Rookie of the Year</a> after posting 62 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and 11 quarterback hits. Donald expects Verse to be one of the top defenders in the league very soon.



“Young guy that just won Defensive Rookie the Year that talk a lot, but back it up,” Donald said of Verse. “So as long as he continues to work hard, continue to do what he do, continue to make sure he get himself better, not allow himself to be comfortable, sky’s the limit for him.”
