Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald recently announced his retirement from the NFL after a legendary 10-year career. His impact on the game has been immense, and his name is synonymous with dominance on the defensive side of the ball.
But what caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just Donald’s retirement announcement—it was Kyler Murray’s succinct and brutally honest reaction. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback needed only two words and a few emojis to sum up his feelings: “THANK GOD”.
The Aaron Donald and Kyler Murray Rivalry
Murray faced Donald twice every season because the Rams and Cardinals share the same division. Imagine being a quarterback and having to deal with one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in NFL history not once, but twice a year. Donald’s relentless pursuit of quarterbacks made life difficult for opposing offenses, and Murray was no exception.
Kyler Murray’s hilarious Tweet to address Aaron Donald’s retirement
When Donald’s retirement news hit the airwaves, Murray took to Twitter with his unfiltered reaction. His tweet read: “THANK GOD” along with a couple of laughing emojis. It was a moment of candid relief for Murray, who had likely breathed a sigh of relief knowing he wouldn’t have to face Donald’s wrath on the field anymore.
Cheers to what’s next. Extending a big thank you to the Rams and all of the fans for your support over these last 10 years. Much love. 🍾🙏🏽💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/edGxkUYdLz
