The question is if he's the best DI in NFL history.


You can make a pretty good argument he isn't even the best defensive lineman in Rams history. The problem is that, except for interceptions, no one kept individual stats on defensive players when Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones, and Jack Youngblood played.

Deacon Jones, maybe, I was too young when he was playing but absolutely no way with Merlin or Youngblood.

Donald IMO is top 100 all time. Recency bias can go both ways with people discounting accomplishments just because they are recent.
