Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett are officially teammates, which is both incredibly exciting and also hard to believe for everyone who doesn’t have to face the Los Angeles Rams this season. It’s a dream scenario for both players, who have each won multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards and have racked up the sacks throughout their careers.
They’ll not only make history as the only teammates who have each won multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards, but they’re also the first tandem with at least 100 career sacks and a 20-sack season.
Garrett has 125.5 career sacks and just recorded his first 20-sack season last year when he set the all-time record with 23. Donald is close behind with 111 sacks and his 20-sack season came in 2018 when he led
the NFL with 20.5, also setting the record for a defensive tackle.
NFL teammate duos all-time to enter a season each having 100+ career sacks & a 20.0+ sack season:

The Rams' defense is as star-studded as there is in the NFL, boasting All-Pros in Donald, Garrett and Trent McDuffie. Byron Young is also a Pro Bowler, and Jaylen Watson is a two-time Super Bowl champion.
Donald and Garrett are now the headliners of Chris Shula's unit, but from back to front, the Rams are loaded.
