Nobodys really saying it but i think Brandon has listened to the people and taken strides as far as allowing his guests more room to speak and listening. Pac-Mans growth as an interviewer is noticeable well. More interactive and more engaging. Dope af🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That trying the get AD to do a acting scene was hard was hard to watch , he has to notice when someone is not comfortable and move on instead of keep putting them on the spot other than that it was pretty good

[@kendalllodman]

I’ve noticed that as well.

[@moneymakinmatt8955]

Yea I was always talkin my shit about him he has chilled tho

Aaron Donald is the PERFECT example of having natural gifts and working just as hard as hard as someone who doesn't. Greatest.

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

No I disagree! He doesn’t have it all - he lacks sportsmanship!

[@swarms4745]

@@QuantumOfSolace1 can u explain what AD has done just curious I don’t watch football A lot

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

@@swarms4745 Alex Smith had a horrific leg injury and went through extensive rehab with the single goal of getting back on the field. After injuries to both QBs the Washington Football Team put him in the game - clearly the talk was all about his courage and risk for returning to the field. Smith proved pretty damn brave standing in there against a Rams pass rush. On one particular play Donaldson ended up in the backfield behind Smith who was still standing in the pocket looking for a receiver. Donald instead of just wrapping his arms around Smith and holding him up - jumps on his back like riding a horse with all of his weight - and Smith gets buried. I know - at the end of the day its still football - but Smith was dead to rights standing in the pocket - as for Donald if he is the player every one touts him to be should have done the right thing and did the sportsman thing and held him up- its sack just the same. The Rams were leading in the game - Smith was the 3rd QB in the depth chart. I was a fan until I saw that play- he just another thug player - all these pretend interviews doesn’t fool me- at the end if the day - they are who we thought they were!

[@ChiseledAdonis]

incredible... absolute incredible player that Donald is. You hear how he breaks down just how hard he works? Casuals will sit there & think he dominates solely off of his God given abilities but this man is COMMITTED to improvement. He could easily rest on his laurels but he doesn't because he wants more for himself. This translates into everything in life. PUT IN THE WORK & NEVER SETTLE. I hope just one person can take away the message from this interview & apply it to their life.... you can't teach DESIRE & HARD WORK!
