Detroit Lions' Aidan Hutchinson shows off moves, in more ways than one, in preseason debut

Two plays.

That's all Aidan Hutchinson needed to bring the crowd at Ford Field to its feet in his first game for the Detroit Lions.

It was second-and-2 on the first drive of Hutchinson's professional career, when he lined up against All-Pro offensive tackle Jake Matthews. The rookie from Michigan football faked right to the outside, swim-moved back inside and blew by the nine-year veteran.

Before Qadree Ollison knew what happened, he was met in the backfield by Hutchinson and slammed to the turf for a 3-yard loss.

"It was awesome," Hutchinson said after the 27-23 preseason loss on Friday.
