Patriots' offense sweating Donald: He's 'never blocked'

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said last Tuesday that he believes Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald to be "unblockable," and his players seem to agree with the assertion ahead of Super Bowl LIII on Sunday.

"If you get your set wrong, that's a problem," Patriots center David Andrews said, according to Stephen Holder of The Athletic. "That's a really big thing. Getting off on a good set. If not, he's going to take advantage of it. He knows exactly what he's looking for. ... You make a mistake against a guy like that, there's no recovery. You've got to be on your game at all times. You've got to be close to perfect."

Andrews added: "He's got such a great motor. He's a guy that's never blocked. That's a term we like to use. You think you've got him blocked but he's really not. You've got to stay on him."

Donald submitted one of the most impressive campaigns by a defender in recent memory, recording 59 tackles, 20.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles. He's widely considered the favorite to win his second consecutive Defensive Player of the Year Award.

"He's unblockable," Patriots tight end Dwayne Allen said. "Just unblockable."
