Aidan Hutchinson Has Message for Lions Fans Ahead of Training Camp
Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson has given it his all in his preparation for the 2023 season.
Appearing on "The Rich Eisen Show" prior to the start of training camp, the former No. 2 overall pick was asked if he had a message for fans, especially since the bandwagon has clearly grown since the conclusion of the 2022 season.
"Speaking personally, I really believe I've put everything into this offseason that I could have," said Hutchinson. "And I think everybody, all the guys, have done everything they could to prepare to have a great, successful season, man. And you know, we're going to control what we can control. We're going to try to win as many ballgames as we can. Obviously, you know, the goal Rich is the playoffs and the Super Bowl. I want it all, you know. So, expectations are high. But, I think our mindsets and our work ethic match our goals. So, that's the vision right there."
Why not the Detroit Lions
With a growing bond with head coach Dan Campbell and the other members of the roster, the former Wolverines defensive lineman is as hopeful as ever the team can continue their climb up the standings.
"Why not us this year? That's kind of, I know that's our mentality," Hutchinson explained. "It's just a completely different Lions team, I believe, than in previous years. And yeah, it's like that's the mentality. And nobody should be surprised if we do win, if we do win a lot of games, just because we have so much talent. And I feel like we got all the right coaches in place. There should be no reason why we can't be a championship team."
