Jason Kelce Has Hilarious Description for Rams Star DT Aaron Donald

Blocking Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is being compared to "trying to wrestle a Liger coated in baby oil.”

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce seems to have taken some inspiration from the Los Angeles Rams regarding retirement.

After rumors of retirement remained afloat once the Eagles fell in the Super Bowl in February, Kelce turned the speculation around after reaching a contract agreement with the team to return for a 13th season on Monday.

The Rams have been involved in many retirement rumors of their own over the past year, with star defensive tackle Aaron Donald being at the center of a lot of it.

But Kelce seems to wish that the three-time defensive player of the year did indeed call it quits last offseason before agreeing to a new deal of his own.

During an appearance on the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce had some hilarious ways of describing how tough it is to guard Donald, complimenting him by saying his pass-rush ability "ruins the game."

“You’re like, ‘Man, we’re just playing football. Why are you mad at me? I’m just trying do my job,'" Kelce said.

The Eagles and Rams will face off at SoFi Stadium next season, meaning Kelce will have to deal with a situation that he compared to on Twitter as "trying to wrestle a Liger coated in baby oil.”

"I think AD has all of it," Kelce said. "He’s relentless, he’s like a bulldog down there that just is mad and angry ... I’m going to slide to you every time. Like, we’re not just gonna let you ruin the game, Aaron."

The matchup of the past two NFC Champions is set to be a good one next season, with the battle in the trenches between Kelce and Donald being a particularly interesting one to watch.
