On Wednesday, ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper released his latest 2022 NFL Draft rankings and there is a change at the top of his board.
Kiper now had Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson ranked as his No. 1 overall prospect in the Class of 2022.
Here is what Kiper has to say about Hutchinson.
Yes, Hutchinson makes the leap to the top of my Big Board. He has been unreal down the stretch and is now a Heisman Trophy finalist. Since I last updated my rankings, he has doubled his sack total. He now has 14 and two forced fumbles, showing powerful moves and relentless pursuit of quarterbacks. Three of those sacks came in the win over Ohio State, as he dominated the Buckeyes’ O-line. Hutchinson played only 144 defensive snaps last season before he injured his leg against Indiana and had to have surgery; the Michigan defense cratered after he was hurt. He was outstanding as a sophomore in 2019, putting up 4.5 sacks and creating havoc in the backfield (10.5 total tackles for loss). It’s going to be a real battle between Hutchinson and Thibodeaux for the No. 1 pick.
Nation, do you think Hutchinson will be the No. 1 overall pick?
