Aidan Hutchinson made a one-handed, gloveless INT look so easy for a defensive end

Aidan Hutchinson Hutch Jags NFL

A month into his sophomore NFL season, Aidan Hutchinson is living up to the hype.

The No. 2 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft has been a godsend for the Detroit Lions’ pass rush. In just under five games, Hutchinson’s already amassed seven quarterback hits, three-and-a-half sacks, and two tackles-for-loss. He’s arguably the best player on a rising Detroit squad that resembles an NFC contender. But it’s not just Hutchinson’s pass-rush prowess that sets him apart.

We have enough of a sample size now to understand he’s good for a game-changing interception now and then. Take Hutchinson’s one-handed pick (without gloves) against the Carolina Panthers as a perfect example of Hutchinson’s exceptional abilities:

For context, Hutchinson is listed at 6-foot-7, 265 pounds. Getting picks like this for a person of his size is definitely not part of the job description. But in 22 career stars, the budding franchise player now has four interceptions. That’s more than most starting cornerbacks who, theoretically, see the ball more often when it’s thrown in their direction.

No wonder the Lions are a powerhouse again. They have stars like Hutchinson going above and beyond.

This is how Twitter reacted
