Expectations were always going to be sky-high for Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson. After attending high school at Divine Child in Dearborn, Hutchinson followed that up with a historic career at the University of Michigan. That led to Hutchinson being selected second overall in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Lions, completing what could be the script of a Disney movie from back in the 1990s.
However, Hutchinson’s game is more than just a fairy tale. In his rookie season, he took off almost immediately, racking up 9.5 sacks, 3 interceptions, 9 tackles for loss, and 30 quarterback pressures per Pro Football Reference (53 pressures per PFF).
