Hutchinson totaled 2 tackles and one TFL in first half minutes with the Detroit Lions first team defense. It was only a short amount of time on the field, but his presence was certainly commanded early in his first NFL test.
Hutchinson made a lineman look silly early, shedding a block for a TFL less than 10 minutes into Friday’s game.
