Breaking Down Aidan Hutchinson’s Amazing ‘Hard Knocks’ Performance of ‘Billie Jean’

1. The new season of Hard Knocks got off to an outstanding start last night thanks to rookie Lions defensive lineman Aiden Hutchinson.

Rookies singing during training camp has been a staple of Hard Knocks throughout the show’s history, but the Michigan standout took things to another level with his stirring rendition of the Michael Jackson 1980s classic, “Billie Jean.”

It actually took about 40 seconds for the performance to build up because most people, Hutchinson’s teammates included, don’t know a lot of the verses in “Billie Jean,” and Hutchinson came to play, singing the song, with passion, from the beginning.
