Jared Goff calls Aidan Hutchinson a ‘monster’ in early Lions training camp

The Detroit Lions are relying on Aidan Hutchinson to quickly return to top form after his leg fracture ended last season prematurely.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff referred to Hutchinson as a “monster,” according to ESPN’s Eric Woodyard. Goff also noted that Hutchinson has been “flying” around early in training camp.

“He looks awesome,” Goff said. “I can’t wait to see what he’ll accomplish.”

Before his injury in Week 6 last season, Hutchinson was performing at a Defensive Player of the Year level. He had 30 quarterback pressures—tied for fourth in the NFL through six weeks—despite fewer snaps than the leaders, thanks to Detroit’s Week 5 bye. His 7.5 sacks were the league’s highest at that point.

New defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard believes Hutchinson appears improved compared to last year.

“I’m not talking about stats or production specifically. But I’m seeing a better version of the player than we had last year,” Sheppard said. “And your reaction might be, ‘Whoa.’ That’s exactly how I reacted too—just, ‘Whoa.’”

He continued: “Honestly, I see growth in him, and I expect a big year. He’s become a core piece of this defense.”

The Lions didn’t make major moves to strengthen the pass rush this offseason. They brought back oft-injured Marcus Davenport and selected Ahmed Hassanein in Round 6. With no big additions, the pressure increases on Hutchinson to deliver right away.

Reporters at camp say Hutchinson is active, moving well, playing with intensity, and facing no physical limitations.

“Football has felt normal for quite a while,” Hutchinson said on Friday. “Back in OTAs, I was stepped on, kicked—you name it—on the injured leg, and afterward I got up thinking, ‘Yep, everything’s fine.’ Sometimes you need those real hits to rebuild mental confidence and truly move forward.”
