DETROIT — In a few days, when the NFL draft kicks off in Las Vegas, Aidan Hutchinson’s life will change.
The former Michigan edge rusher, the program’s single-season sack record holder, a consensus All-American last season and a Heisman Trophy runner-up, is projected to be a top-five pick, and many have him as the No. 1 overall selection.
During the lead-up to the draft, Hutchinson performed well at the NFL combine and at Michigan’s Pro Day, graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, has been the subject of a Pro Football Focus four-part podcast and recently threw out the first pitch at a Tigers game. All along the way, his parents, two older sisters and many extended family members have been right there with him on this once-in-a-lifetime ride.
