"I think he's prepped to have another big year." -Coach Campbell on Aidan Hutchinson. https://t.co/hMUPtzGbAN Via @Lions on X

What happened: The endorsement follows strong reviews for Hutchinson throughout training camp. He landed at No. 30 in the NFL Top 100 last month.

Why it matters: Hutchinson's pressure production will be central to Detroit's defensive ceiling. The opener provides the first test of whether his camp form carries into the regular season.

What to watch: Track Hutchinson's workload and quarterback pressures on Sept. 13.
