Don't much care for being a Homer fan, but that is a 100% incorrect statement.
Aaron Donald's 2013 season statistics read as such: 54 Tackles, 26.5 TFLs, 10 Sacks, 16 QB hurries, 1 blocked kick.
Ndamukong Suh's 2009 season statistics read as such: 85 tackles, 20.5 TFLS, 12 sacks, 19 QB hurries, and 3 blocked kicks.
Throw in the fact that Suh led Nebraska to a near top 10 finish in every meaningful defensive category (#9 Rush D, #18 Pass D, #7 Total D, #1 Scoring, #1 Pass Efficiency), and most importantly the #1 scoring defense in the country, and Suh's season eclipses that of Donald.
Great season by Donald, and he is a fantastic player, but he did not have enough impact on Pittsburgh's entire defense, much less entire team than that of Suh in 2009. Pittsburgh's D was #42 in Total Defense and #69 in Scoring Defense this year.
Suh carried a less than lethargic offense to within a single second of winning the Big 12 while Donald carried Pittsburgh to a 6-6 record and a berth in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl.
But for real though, it's Suggs anyways
