It’s been 12 years since the Detroit Lions had a player earn the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year honor. That could change after the 2022 season.
Rookie DE Aidan Hutchinson is one of the top candidates to win the award this season. Hutchinson has a very strong case to join the last Lions winner, Ndamukong Suh. Like the No. 2 overall pick back in 2010, this year’s second pick is having a dominant season for Detroit.
