Aidan Hutchinson is human just like the rest of us. In some ways, at least.

On the football field, it certainly seems like the 6-foot-7, 2nd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is from another planet. But for the longest time, Hutchinson had a former Michigan teammate blocked in his phone.

He was wondering why Kwity Paye wasn’t answering him back for the longest time.

“I would have liked to talk to Kwity a bit more but I found out yesterday that I had actually blocked his number,” Hutchinson said, via Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. “If we look at our messages I had about five messages to him, all unanswered. I thought ‘dude is ghosting me right now.'”

Hutchinson and Paye were teammates at Michigan  in 2020 and 2021. Paye was drafted 21st overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Lions just narrowly beat the Colts 27-26 in Saturday’s preseason game, one in which neither Paye nor Hutchinson saw action.
