Donald’s football coach always had praises for his hard work and dedication which has seen him rise to the top. In one of his interviews, he mentioned how humble and gladiator-like Donald was.
He said to the Tribune Review, “He worked out in the mornings with his father lifting weights. Then he would do our conditioning, and then he would go to training afterwards. You could see he had a work ethic. He’s a nice, humble guy, but on the field, he was a real quality gladiator. You could see the drive and the part of him that was no quit.”
