Last week, we ran a poll of Pride of Detroit readers asking them which Detroit Lions rookies they are most excited to see in 2022. Unsurprisingly, Detroit’s two first-round picks occupied the top two spots in that poll.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see Aidan Hutchinson, as the second overall pick has already worked his way up the team’s depth chart. By the end of minicamp, Hutchinson was already getting some first-team reps, and it’s a near certainty he’ll get significant playing time in the team’s Week 1 opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
