Aidan Hutchinson landed No. 30 position on the 2026 NFL Top 100 rankings, as voted on by the league's active players.
Aidan Hutchinson, the Lions pass rusher, earned a No. 30 ranking in the 2026 NFL Top 100 rankings, as selected by the league's active players. Hutchinson bounced back from a severe leg injury in 2024, recording a career-high 14.5 sacks, 35 QB hits, and four forced fumbles in 17 games last year. This strong performance marked his second career double-digit sack season and second Pro-Bowl selection.
The Lions expressed their support for Hutchinson on social media. Hutchinson, the Lions' second overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, finished second in Rookie of the Year voting in his debut season, tallying 9.5 sacks. His coach, Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins, praised Hutchinson's adaptability and leadership in the NFL Top 100 interview.
Hutchinson and the Lions are set to kick off their 2026 regular-season with a Week 1 game against the New Orleans Saints on September 13.
