Aidan Hutchinson is making some incredible moves and has racked up a phenomenal stat as a rookie in Week 13.

The former Michigan defensive end is starting off his rookie season for the Detroit Lions on a pretty exciting note.  He’s gained a solid 37 quarterback pressures this season, which is the most among rookies in the National Football League.

Hutchinson has more hurries than Kansas City Chiefs’ George Karlaftis at 33, New York Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux at 32, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Travon Walker at 28 and Atlanta Falcons’ Arnold Ebiketie at 28.

Aside from the quarterback pressures in his first season as a Lion, let alone as a NFL player, Hutchinson also has 6 sacks to his name and 21 solo tackles. After being selected to the Lions’ squad earlier this year in the 2022 NFL Draft as the No. 2 overall pick, Hutchinson has been a powerful combination for the Lions defense.

Hutchinson and the Lions will be in action on Sunday, taking on the Vikings at home at 1:00 p.m. ET.
