Detroit Lions reveal jersey numbers for 2022 rookie draft picks

Aidan Hutchinson did not have to move far to start his NFL career, and the Detroit Lions' first-round pick will be wearing a familiar number when he steps on the field for rookie minicamp this weekend.

Hutchinson will wear No. 97 with the Lions, the same number he wore during his standout career at Michigan.

Hutchinson, who set the Michigan single-season record with 14 sacks last year, wore No. 97 at Michigan because his father, Chris, had the same number during his playing career with the Wolverines.
