Aidan Hutchinson 'J.J. Watt-Esque,' Can Line Up Anywhere

Michigan Wolverines football junior defensive end Aidan Hutchinson started all 13 games as a sophomore in 2019, and notched 68 total tackles, 4.5 sacks and 10.0 tackles for loss.

Former All-Big Ten U-M defensive end Craig Roh, a seven-year NFL and CFL veteran who also does defensive line film breakdowns, recognizes the special talent that Hutchinson is, and believes he has the pedigree to turn things up another notch next season.

"He’s a beast," Roh said of Hutchinson. "You can just see a big body, going off of his dad [Chris Hutchinson] as a Michigan great. He’s following in the footsteps there. He's very promising."

Hutchinson has the ability to play both the strong side and weak side defensive end spot, as well as shift down to the tackle spot on both pass and run downs. His versatility is impressive, Roh says, reminding him of one of the NFL's best.
