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. Jacksonville is expected to select Hutchinson with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, April 28. 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.
