Former NFL star Aaron Donald made 'Make-A-Wish' kid puke in a trash can, reveals Matthew Stafford

Aaron Donald once made a ‘Make-A-Wish’ kid puke in a trash can while working out together during his time with the Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Matthew Stafford revealed on Wednesday. 

Per Make-A-Wish America, kids between the ages of 3 and 18 living with a critical illness can become a affiliated with the organization to have a wish granted. 

One high-school aged child chose for his wish to be a day with Donald, where he would work out with the 6-foot-1, 280-pound behemoth. 

Donald became well-known for his abilities in the weight room, making him one of the best defensive tackles in NFL history. 

‘He’s a maniac in the weight room, right? I’ll never forget we had like, a Make-A-Wish kid, had been like, my dream is to go be with Aaron Donald for a day,’ Stafford said on New Heights. ‘And thankfully, this kid, at that point, had kind of beaten the odds, and had beaten the cancer that he had, I believe, and was really on the mend.’ 

‘And it was really cool, he came in and you’re like, ‘Oh man, this guy’s like, doing good, right?’ High school kid, bigger kid, loved to play football. And AD was like, ‘Cool, come work out with me.’

‘I’m walking by, I’m like, ‘Yo what [is about to go down]?’ I’m over there doing like banded something. And like, 30 minutes in, and AD is just ripping curls out. Next thing you know, this kid is puking in the trash can.’ 

Once Travis and Jason Kelce heard about the upchuck, they were in disbelief, laughing and covering their faces. 

At that point Stafford interjected and wanted to make sure the kid was alright, knowing his wish was granted likely after months of chemotherapy. 

Donald did not see a problem with it, as he was doing his normal workout routine, which per Stafford, was to do as many curls as he could ‘until we throw up.’ 

Well, mission accomplished, regardless of what your quarterback thinks of your methods. Donald has not spoken out immediately on the story being told.
