When it comes to Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes and HC Dan Campbell, there is no question about it that they have a certain type of player that they want on their roster.
That type of player is one who is willing to give 100%, 100% of the time, whether that is on the football field or in the locker room.
The Lions currently have the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and you can bet that they will be looking to add a player to their roster that fits in.
As time goes by, it sure does seem like that player is Michigan EDGE, Aidan Hutchinson.
Hutchinson has a motor for days when he is on the football field as he never seems to take a play off and he is an outstanding leader both on and off of the field.
But according to Peter King, the Lions could miss out on their ‘perfect fit’ as he believes Hutchinson, with his performance at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, is the odds on favorite to be the No. 1 pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the draft.

My hunch is the Jaguars favor a spotless edge prospect over one of the tackles. Hutchinson flew home to Michigan on Sunday morning knowing he did nothing to hurt his cause. I’m not crazy about projecting who’s going to be a good NFL player based on some measured drill in shorts and a T-shirt, and this shouldn’t determine Hutchinson’s draft fate. But if you’ve seen the 3-cone drill—designed to measure a player’s speed while he changes direction in an instant—you know that it’s a valuable tool to judge edge rushers, receivers and cornerbacks. Hutchinson’s 6.73-second time here was faster than all but five players at this combine, two receivers and three defensive backs.
Nation, if the Lions miss out on Hutchinson, who do you think they should select with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft?
