Donald is an unbelievable talent and surely he has been the best player in the league for the last several years. However, he still has a long way to go before he can even be considered to be on Lawrence’s level, let alone passing him up.

He is now tied with legendary quarterback Peyton Manning for the most appearances in the club in the history of the game
He appeared in all 17 games and finished with a career-best 84 tackles, 12.5 sacks, four passes defended, and four forced fumbles all while dealing with double teams every game last season.
Most importantly, Donald won the first Super Bowl of his career.
