Aidan Hutchinson’s comeback story is about to get national attention. On Sunday morning, ESPN will air a feature segment on the Detroit Lions‘ defensive star, just hours before he makes his return to the field against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Hutchinson, who suffered a horrific leg injury last season, has spent months grinding his way back. But it wasn’t just his own determination that pushed him through rehab; it was the support of children in the Detroit area that he has long worked to inspire.
Since entering the NFL, Hutchinson has made it his mission to bring hope and joy to sick children throughout the community. After his injury, those same kids sent him messages of encouragement, flipping the script and inspiring him to get back on his feet.
