A five-year ordeal appears to be coming to a head after Aaron Donald was reportedly granted a restraining order against an alleged stalker.

The Los Angeles Rams legend reportedly filed for the temporary restraining order against Jenelle Anwar, who has allegedly been following him since 2020.

According to The Athletic, Donald received threatening emails from Anwar five years ago and has since sent him packages and gifts while stalking him and threatening the life of his 3-year-old son.

Donald reportedly said he has never met the woman, who recently filed for dissolution of marriage last month, seeking a “settlement” of $6.5 million.

Donald has four children, two with his current wife and two others from a previous relationship.

“I fear that [her] delusions will lead to her attempting to harm me, my wife, my children, and my brother,” Donald reportedly wrote.

TMZ reports that Anwar must stay at least 100 yards away from Donald and his family. She also is not permitted to contact him or have guns.

Donald, the 13th pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, retired after the 2023 season after 10 years in the league, all with the Rams. He became one of the greatest defensive players of all time, winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award three times and winning the 2022 Super Bowl.

He was a first-team All-Pro eight times in his career and made the Pro Bowl in each campaign. His 20½ sacks in 2018 led the league.

Shohei Ohtani is not publicly known, nor personally sees himself, as a quick starter at the plate.

“Overall, in my career,” he said through interpreter Will Ireton, “I don’t really have a hot start in the beginning of the season.”

This year, that’s technically true again — but only if you hold the reigning National League MVP to his own stratospheric standards.

Through the opening three weeks, all of Ohtani’s triple-slash stats are down from last year (.288/.380/.550), but only because his 2024 marks (.310/.390/.646) all topped the NL. Same story with a .930 OPS that is more than 100 points lower than his gaudy 2024 total, but still good enough to rank top 20 in the majors.

With six home runs and five stolen bases, Ohtani isn’t quite on mathematical pace for another 50-homer, 50-steal season; but is on an early track to become the first player in MLB history with multiple 40/40 campaigns.

And though he has taken a few more awkward swings than normal in the opening three weeks, he has started honing in on his power stroke, too, leading off Wednesday’s win over the Colorado Rockies with a towering 448-foot blast that almost cleared the right-field pavilion.

“I think overall,” he said, “it’s been a really good first 20 games.”

The only true area of regression so far has been in one statistical category; where a glaring drop in production has signaled a key early-season problem for the team.

After racking up 130 RBIs in 159 games last year, Ohtani has just eight in this season’s opening 20 contests. Seven of them have come via his six home runs (all but one of which were solo shots). Not until Wednesday, when he returned to the plate in a seven-run first inning and knocked in Austin Barnes with an RBI single, did he record his first hit with a runner in scoring position.

“Shohei’s in a good spot,” manager Dave Roberts said recently. “We just need to get some guys on base for him.”

That reality said more about the rest of the team’s offense than its superstar leadoff man.

From the Nos. 7-9 spots in the batting order, the Dodgers have posted a .173 batting average so far, tied for worst in the majors. Prior to Wednesday, they’d given Ohtani just nine plate appearances with runners in scoring position (tied with No. 2 hitter Mookie Betts for fewest among the team’s regulars). In four of those spots, he was walked.

It created an early-season conundrum for Roberts, as he tried to shake the team out of a recent offensive lull. Should he consider dropping Ohtani in the lineup, where he could get more RBI opportunities? Or should he give his offense more time to find its footing, and hope his bottom-half hitters began heating up at the plate?

“I just feel that there’s guys who are gonna perform better than they have,” Roberts said this week, opting for the latter. “Shohei will ultimately get those opportunities.”

And on Wednesday, he finally saw signs that could be happening.

In an 8-7 win over the Rockies, the Dodgers got five hits and a walk from their bottom three hitters.

One was provided by Barnes, the backup catcher who didn’t have a hit all season before doubling in the first in front of Ohtani.

The others came from more important pieces of the Dodgers’ lineup construction: Max Muncy and Andy Pages.

Bottom-of-the-order staples who are both batting under .200 to begin the season, Muncy and Pages had arguably their best games of the year Wednesday. Pages, the second-year center fielder, went two for four with three RBIs, continuing improvements that began during his two-homer series in Washington last week.

“He is swinging the bat a lot better,” Roberts said.

Muncy, meanwhile, reached base three times with the help of a recent adjustment to his own slumping swing.

In an effort to stay more on top of the ball at the plate this year, Muncy spent his offseason purposely trying to hit grounders and low line drives. In doing so, however, he realized he had begun lurching forward in his swing. As a result, he gave himself less time to read pitches and make proper swing decisions. And even when he did, he wasn’t driving the ball like usual.

“The ball sped up on me the first few series of the season and I really wasn’t myself,” Muncy said. “I was chasing a lot of stuff and I was unable to recognize it.”

But now, he has returned to staying back in his stance and is looking for pitches to elevate. Amid a series in which Muncy walked six times, Roberts felt he also took his best at-bat of the season against left-hander Luis Peralta on Wednesday night, launching one deep fly just foul before ripping a single into right field.

“When he’s getting on base, and it was a ton this series, then that’s a good thing,” Roberts said. “So I do think that he’s turned a corner, yeah.”

The Dodgers hope that the rest of their bottom-half hitters will do so as well.

Because the more Ohtani heats up as the season progresses, the more important it will be to have guys getting on base in front of him.

It sure sounds like Cam Ward knows which team is drafting him next week.

Ward has become the consensus No. 1 pick in most NFL mock drafts — including both of ours — with the big day coming in a week.

The Tennessee Titans own the top selection, and as the weeks have gone by, speculation is they are going to hold on to it and take Ward.

And it sounds like Ward is confirming that speculation.

While playing Fortnite on a livestream, he mentioned Titans running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears as the best in the league.

He also mentoned his top four receivers: Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks. Burks calls Nashville home.

Earlier in the offseason, it seemed like Tennessee was more than willing to deal the first selection considering the talent atop the board. Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter, the projected No. 2 and 3 picks in our latest mock draft, could easily be No. 1 selections other years.

With Will Levis struggling in his two years with Tennessee and a new front office, it’s starting to look like the Titans will go with a player who could become a franchise quarterback.

Ward broke the record for the most touchdown passes in a career in Division I history, surpassing Case Keenum’s record in the Pop-Tart Bowl.

Ward led all of Division I with 39 touchdowns, and he finished as an All-American while finishing in fourth place in the Heisman Trophy voting.
