Watch as Aidan Hutchinson picks up first career sack for Detroit Lions [Video]


It may have taken until Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season but Detroit Lions rookie EDGE Aidan Hutchinson has picked up his first sack as a professional.

Watch as Hutchinson helps the Lions' defense get off the field as he sacks Washington Commanders quarterback, Carson Wentz.

You can bet we will see many more of these in the future!

All-Pro C Jason Kelce has high praise for Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson

When the Detroit Lions selected Aidan Hutchinson out of the University of Michigan with the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the hope was that he would come in and immediately make an impact on a defense that was not able to get to the passer in 2021.

During training camp, Hutchinson impressed just about everybody he came in contact with and it seemed like he would be a rookie who dominates right from the get-go.

But in his first game as a professional, Hutchinson struggled against the Philadelphia Eagles as he only picked up one tackle in the game and was not able to put much pressure at all on the quarterback.

Following the game, Eagles All-Pro Center, Jason Kelce had some pretty high praise for Hutchinson.

“He’s like a more athletic, more nimble Jared Allen type player,” Kelce said.

“He has some really, really good stutter bull (rush), long arms, gets extended, can attack you inside, outside or right down the middle and makes it all kind of look the same,” said Jason Kelce. “Speed to power, they lined him up a couple times in this overload set where he’s clearly outside the tackle, coming down with a full head of steam. He’s going to be a really, really good player.”
