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.
