What Aidan Hutchinson brings to the Detroit Lions

This scouting report was part of our pre-draft series on Michigan prospects.

Aidan Hutchinson had one of the best seasons in the history of Michigan football in 2021 with 62 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks (program record) and a runner-up finish for the Heisman Trophy.

The senior defensive end slayed the dragon of Ohio State and helped secure Michigan’s first Big Ten Championship since 2004. Hutchinson left his mark in Ann Arbor and now (with scouts and general managers drooling) he turns his attention to the NFL.

Measurables

At 6-foot-6, 265 pounds, Hutchinson possesses the prototypical size and length for the NFL.
