0:00It's April 6th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Corey with the story. Jaguars head coach Liam Cohen is lighting a fire under edge wrestler trap on Walker by comparing him straight to Aaron Donald. The team made a deep playoff run back in 2022, but dropped off last season. Now, in Cohen's first year calling the shots, he's pushing Walker to unlock that next-level dominance, just like the all-time great defensive tackle. Walker says they clicked for him, shifting his mindset to pure rampage mode. Cohen worked with Donald on the Rams, so he knows the blueprint. Walker feels it's not just about him getting better, but lifting the whole defense too. Everyone in the league chases greatness, and this comparison puts it in perspective. Aaron Donald was a different beast. Even blowing up walkthroughs so bad the Rams GM Joe practice actually happened during practice.

Chris Sims and my Florio break it down, talling it you in the door, but the greats have that unquenchable fire. Sims remembers entering the NFL cocky from college, only to see vets like Derrick Brooks and Ronde Barber treat every day like war. Freaks like Walker can coast early, but the league demands more. Scouts face a tough spot now, spotting that inner cycle amid all the hype at draft time, team's value of session, character, and grind over one elite trait these days. It's why first round picks lean safer, chasing players who build real bonds with the whole staff. When the going gets tough, that's who elevates and owns the league.
