In his first regular-season NFL game against the Eagles and their tremendous offensive line last Sunday, Lions edge-rusher and Michigan alum Aidan Hutchinson — the second overall player selected in the 2022 draft after the Jaguars took Georgia edge-rusher Travon Walker with the first pick — didn’t get a sack, but he was effective to a point with three quarterback hurries.
There are those who believe that a run of quarterback pressures will eventually lead to a bunch of quarterback sacks. Hutchinson wasted no time putting some reality into that theory: In the first half of the Lions’ 22-0blowout of the Washington Commanders, Hutchinson had three sacks.
