Aaron Donald was nothing short of dominant even during his rookie season. 

The Pittsburgh product won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and was nominated to the Pro Bowl, even though he only started 12 games. 

It should be no surprise that teammates, coaches and fans are excited to see what Donald has in store for Year 2. 

Robert Mays compiled a list of NFL players who are a must-see each week in Grantland's Triangle All-Stars, and Donald was the only defensive lineman to make the cut.

"This may seem like a stretch, but by season’s end, Aaron Donald has a chance to be the best non–J.J. Watt defender in football," Mays wrote. 

That's a lofty statement, but after Donald's rookie year, there's no telling how high his ceiling is.
