INDIANAPOLIS — Aidan Hutchinson sounds ready for the next step.
And if it’s a short one, as some expect, with Michigan’s All-America edge rusher an easy projection to the Lions with the No. 2 overall pick in April’s NFL draft, the Plymouth, Mich., native sounds prepared for that, too.
"It would definitely be cool," Hutchinson said Friday at the NFL scouting combine, where he’ll be looking to cement his status as one of the best prospects in this class. "I'd be living close to home. It would definitely make the transition a bit easier to the NFL, just being so close to home and close to my parents."
