After enjoying a career-best 14.5-sacks season, Detroit Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson will join ESPN as an in-studio guest analyst for its “Postseason NFL Countdown.”

Set to air on Sunday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET, Hutchinson will join host Mike Greenberg and analysts Tedy Bruschi, Randy Moss, Rex Ryan, Alex Smith and Adam Schefter from the Hudson Square studio in New York.

In addition to his 14.5 sacks, Hutchinson also logged 54 tackles, four forced fumbles, three passes defended, one interception and one fumble recovery.

Hutchinson also made some Pro Football Focus history.

There have been only six seasons where an NFL player registered 100 or more pressures in a season since PFF started tracking player performances in 2006. Hutchinson is the only player with multiple such seasons, reaching 101 pressures in 2023 and 100 pressures in 2025.
