Detroit Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah deservedly stole the spotlight last week in Chicago. The week before against Green Bay, safety Kerby Joseph took his turn in the limelight.
Their performances were so good and meaningful for an improving defense that they somehow overshadowed the strong play the past two weeks of the Lions’ 6-foot-7 No. 2 overall pick who’s on pace for double-digit sacks as a rookie.
But it’s there, on the field and on tape, for anyone to see how much better Aidan Hutchinson is starting to play since his breakout three-sack game Week 2 against Washington.
