The Detroit Lions may want Michigan football’s Aidan Hutchinson to land in their hands in this month’s NFL draft. But if Hutchinson is No. 1 overall, as many suspect, the Lions will still have three No. 2 side rushing options.

“People talk about it, does he like the game? Is he me and me or us and us? That was the debate with Kayvon,” Kiper said. “I think he’ll be motivated to join because people are a little bit critical of him right now. When he’s out of high school or in his
