Indianapolis — A year ago, Detroit Lions rookie edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson completed his climb to the top of the NFL Draft with his performance in Michigan's regular-season finale against Ohio State.
This year, it looked as though Texas Tech defensive end Tyree Wilson was on a similar trajectory. Unfortunately for Wilson, a projected top-10 pick in this year's NFL Draft and a popular option in mock drafts for the Detroit Lions at No. 6, he didn't have the chance to see things through. His season was cut short by two games — plus a bowl game — when he suffered a broken bone in his foot during a mid-November game against Kansas.
