Aidan Hutchinson has absolutely lived up to the hype after the Detroit Lions took him second overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
His rookie season has included THREE interceptions, a pretty incredible number considering that he’s a defensive end. The third one came on Sunday in a win over the Chicago Bears.
With a few seconds left in the first half, Justin Fields stepped back to pass and threw an interception to Hutchinson. But was he lined up in zone defense or something?
Sort of. As you’ll see from video shot by a fan, he was lined up … at cornerback. Literally. What?!
Clever defensive alignment! @aidanhutch97 pic.twitter.com/QhWdWfdgCO
