If the race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft comes down to Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux, some NFL executives believe the Michigan star should get the edge because of his week-to-week consistency.
Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, one executive from an NFC team cited Hutchinson's high-floor talent as the reason to select him ahead of Thibodeaux.
"One NFC exec put it this way with Hutchinson: He might not be a home run, but he's, at worst, a stand-up double. In other words, people around the league believe Hutchinson has virtually no risk of being a bust, a clean prospect in every way," Fowler wrote.
