In a photo provided by Melissa Hutchinson, Aidan Hutchinson takes a selfie with family and fans after Michigan's win over Ohio State on Nov. 27, 2021, in Ann Arbor, Mich.

It's easy to see why the Jaguars would want him after watching what Hutchinson did last year at Michigan. Scouts who searched for more about his background found out Chris and Melissa raised a well-rounded son, uniquely shaped by a close-knit family that includes two older sisters.
