After being drafted second overall, former Michigan star Aidan Hutchinson was primed to play for his hometown team.

The former Wolverine played in 11 snaps during the preseason opener, but didn’t play in Saturday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also isn’t expected to play in the preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Despite only playing those 11 snaps in the preseason, Hutchinson said he’s ready for week one.

“I’m ready to go,” Hutchinson said, via Mlive Sports. “I think I just want to get (to the regular season). All the preseason, all the camp stuff, it’s good getting better, but man, you just want to get to that Week 1 and get into the season and get rolling. Just getting a little antsy. So yeah, that’s how I feel.”

He will make an immediate impact on a Lions defense that needs great players.
