The parents of defensive end former Michigan Wolverines superstar and current Detroit Lions monster Aidan Hutchinson have had a front-row seat to his historic season.
Before being drafted by the Lions two years ago, Hutchinson played football inside the Big House.
Even though he wasn’t on the 2023 national championship team, his parents and Kimberly Gill talked about some similarities between what got the Wolverines to that win and what we’re seeing at Ford Field.
During Local 4′s pre-game special this Sunday (Jan. 21), you will hear so much more from the Hutchinson family, including the special bond between Aiden and his dad.
We can’t wait to tell you about the one special way they communicate during the game.
Aidan Hutchinson missed his second straight practice Thursday with a right thigh contusion, but the Detroit Lions rookie said he is feeling “good.”
“I’ll be back soon,” Hutchinson told the Free Press after practice.
Hutchinson, who declined to say if he expects to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, was injured in the second half of last week’s win over the Washington Commanders when he was kneed in the thigh during a goal line series. The No. 2 overall pick of April’s NFL draft, Hutchinson set a Lions rookie record with three sacks in the game.
He wore a compression sleeve on his right leg at practice Thursday, when he emerged from the Lions’ indoor facility
