The hometown kid stays home! The Detroit native, Michigan alum edge Aidan Hutchinson has been selected as the 2nd overall pick by the Detroit Lions. After the Jaguars selected Travon Walker as the 1st pick, it felt like the Lions ran the draft card and couldn’t get it to the commissioner fast enough.
Hutchinson fits the persona of what Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell are trying to build in Detroit.

He will be looked at as a cornerstone player and instantly upgrade the defense taking it to the next level.
