Monday open thread: What are your expectations for Aidan Hutchinson’s rookie season?

The Detroit Lions have lacked a star pass rusher for years, but can Aidan Hutchinson fill that void?

Thanks to a dominant 2021 campaign where he recorded 16.5 sacks in 14 games at the University of Michigan, the Heisman runner-up vaulted himself atop many draft boards. Thankfully for the Lions, the Jacksonville Jaguars were not one such team, instead opting to take Georgia pass rusher Travon Walker. That left Hutchinson to fall to his hometown Lions. It’s a dream come true to Hutchinson, and the Lions are pretty happy with the result as well, having wasted no time submitting their pick.
