Aidan Hutchinson announcement that he is leaving Detroit lions another significant issue for team…..

The 2022 NFL Draft was one of the few NFL drafts in recent history where the top pick was up in the air until the card was turned in. Fans and media knew the Jaguars would take an edge rusher but which one?

The major project with tremendous upside was Travon Walker out of Georgia or Aidan Hutchison who could make an impact on day one?

If you are a Lions fan you know how things played out. Travon Walker was drafted by the Jaguars and the Michigan native Aidan Hutchison “fell” to his home state team. Since that draft, the Jaguars have experienced an offensive renaissance but have been left behind in terms of pass rush. Compare that to the path the Lions have established and paved for themselves and that draft pick is a major part of each team’s story in 2023.

Aidan Hutchison is looking and playing like an All-Pro and is leading a gritty Lions defense. The defensive unit as a whole goes with the flow of Hutchison and in that they tend to play to their highest potential. That leadership cannot be measured but some of his leadership can be measured with stats.
