The Journey, Aidan Hutchinson's dream season

What a special player and leader. 
 

He put it all on the line to come back and has made it worthwhile. 
 

I hope he continues to manifest his dreams and aspirations. 
 

This is an example for any workplace; one guy or gal can make a big difference.

I got choked up watching this with my son yesterday. When I told him that if Aidan Hutchinson were my teammate, I would follow him anywhere and do anything he asked me to do to help the team - he instantly agreed. I have been using Aidan’s dedication and leadership as an inspiration for him as a soccer player for months, and the way my son worked this summer and fall demonstrated some of the special work ethic that characterizes Hutch’s approach. I admire Aidan so much.  He is a testament to how much can be achieved if you are willing to work harder than everyone else. Huge sacrifices lead to huge accomplishments. 

Now let’s go get a championship!

Go Blue. Beat Iowa.

somehow i think this guy will be 'up' for tonight's game.  seems like such a great kid.  

I've been nervous about this game...moreso than OSU. (I'm always like this when Michigan FB or MBB has a monumental game against a decent team, but one it should beat. Like being a #1 seed and playing the #4 or #5 in the Sweet 16.  When you go up against OSU in football or when you make the Final Four or Championship game against another #1 seed, you're "playing with house money" at that point.  But now?  Ugh, pit in the stomach)

After watching that? Instantly calm, the team is in GREAT hands and has tremendous leaders.

We'll be fine. Aidan isn't going to let this team overlook anyone and "as the kids say..." he, "understands the assignment."

With Cade on offense and Aidan on defense, we have two vocal leaders (and there are plenty more who do it in other ways)...who aren't going to let this team give anything other than its best.

This team is different! Let's GO BLUE!

“I’m willing to die for this, I swear. I want it more than anyone”

Sidenote, get up big and put him in at TE on the goal line!  Block down, fake the dive to Haskins, sprint McCarthy out to his right, Aidan come off his block, speed out to the right...TOUCHDOWN!

Love the white confetti falling from the heavens on Hutchinson and the entire team during the OSU game! 

Hutchinson deserves nothing less than national recognition of his perseverance, dedication, and superb excellence during the entire season.  Offensive backfield players (QB, running backs) aren't always as thoroughly active on each play as someone like Hutchinson is.  He didn't take a play off (unless rested for a play or two by coaches) the entire season but busted his butt on every defensive down.  Of course, his unending off-season work prepared him for this.

I still contend that he scored that TD against MSU.  He should get some kind of credit for that, just as Woodson got credit for several of his.
