Donald is going all out to determine whether he wants to play again, pulling out all the stops \u2013\u00a0from ramping up his training regimen to working out at the Los Angeles Rams\u2019 facility<\/a>. Sean McVay revealed an interesting tidbit during Thursday\u2019s press conference, telling reporters that Donald flew his usual speed trainer out to Los Angeles from Pittsburgh, which shows how serious he is about this possible return.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got such an intentional routine and rhythm,\u201d McVay said. \u201cHe’s had his same speed trainer that he’s worked out with throughout his whole career that he has back at home or back in Pittsburgh that he’s brought out here. He’s taking great care of himself, as we all know. Getting ready to play football and just working out the way that he has, there’s a little bit of a different rhythm and routine. Anything that he does, like I’ve shared with you guys, he’s going to do it with everything that he’s got.\u201d<\/p>\n Donald trained often with DeWayne Brown of 2Tenths Speed and Agility, so that\u2019s likely who McVay is referring to. The video below is from 2023, but it\u2019s an example of the types of drills Donald has probably been going through in preparation for a possible comeback.<\/p>\n It’s much different than just hitting the weights in the gym or running on the treadmill for cardio, as these are much more football-focused drills.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n
