Former Michigan star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is well on his way to becoming a star in the NFL. In his last preseason game of his rookie career against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hutchinson was able to account for a sack on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
Hutchinson bullied left tackle Dan Moore Jr. to get deep into the backfield where he and fellow defensive end Charles Harris combined for a sack.

So, to recap: That's ~ 15 live reps in preseason games this month for Aidan Hutchinson and he's pretty much answered the bell on every one of them

Hutchinson is picking up right where he left off after a dominating senior season with Michigan in 2021. In his last season with the Wolverines, Hutchinson accounted for 62 total tackles, 36 solo tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, 3 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles.
The Lombardi Award winner was Detroit’s 2nd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. According to FanDuel, Hutchinson has the best odds to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.
