What was likely intended to be a discussion starter among his near-6,000 fellow Rams fans actually turned into a viral social media post that made its way back to Donald \u2014 and he just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to leave a reply.<\/p>\n
“If @_micahparsons11 go to the rams I might have to call @210ths and get in football shape \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 wit that Dline would be unreal \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffd\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25,” Donald commented.<\/p>\n
Donald’s reply then caught the attention of Parsons himself.<\/p>\n
“@aarondonald99 man!!! Don’t tell me info like that!! @davidmulugheta,” Parsons responded.<\/p>\n
