ESPN NFL on Aidan Hutchinson

No. 5 ranked; complete 2025 season with 14.5 sacks after leg injury recovery.

Hutchinson climbed to No. 5 in ESPN's rankings with a unique skill set similar to Anderson's trajectory. Last season he ranked second in pressures (63), third in quarterback hits (35), tied for second in forced fumbles (four), and fourth in sacks (14.5)—a complete performance after a serious leg injury cost him more than half of 2024. His 950 snaps led all defensive linemen. He is the first player since 1982 with 40+ sacks and 5+ interceptions in his first four NFL seasons. Scouts highlight his hand skills, speed-to-power rush, and nonstop motor that keeps offensive tackles off balance.
