I was a bit surprised that Aiden Hutchenson wasn't one of this year's captains after his rookie season last year with the Detroit Lions.

Hutchenson finished the 2022 season with 9.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hits and 52 total tackles, including nine for loss.

He leads all NFL rookies in sacks (4.5), pressures (14) and quarterback hits (9) at the midpoint of the season

He was also named the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has a new pad and it is fabulous. The $10.5 million estate is located in Manhattan Beach, California, and it is nothing short of stunning.
