He followed Aiden Hutchinson throughout his career at Michigan.

0:06.0

And even when he was being recruited, knows the Hutchinson bloodline there when it comes to the big house in Ann Arbor.

0:11.8

He's standing by from the Wolverine.com on the Meyer guest sign.

0:15.8

Welcome back, Chris.

0:17.3

Hey, brother.

0:17.8

How are you?

0:18.5

Good.

0:18.7

Your thoughts on if Aidan Hutchinson is there at two, is he a must get for the lines,

0:24.1

like I'm saying? I think he is a culture fit, and I think this guy is going to get better and

0:29.8

better and get stronger and stronger. Now, there are times against Georgia, and let's be

0:34.2

honest, that Georgia team was like a pro team, Bill, where they neutralized him a little bit and did some things to run away from him.

0:40.8

But I think he's one of those guys that you take that can help change the culture or fit into the kind of culture that Dan Campbell and those guys are looking for.

0:48.1

And it's interesting because I talked to John Jansen about this, you know, Michigan's former American offensive lineman.

0:53.0

And when he went to Washington, he loved it there, and he was one of their top 50 all-time players in a poll like five years ago or something like that. And they took Aaron Gibson. I remember I had him, and he was so heartbroken. I said, why in the hell would you want to go to the lions? He said, because I felt like I could help change the culture of that franchise and that we could become a winner and what an awesome thing that would be for a kid that grew up in Michigan. And that really resonated with me. And I think the same of a Aden Hutchinson type. And, you know, it's one of those things you know me. I'm a cynic when it comes to the Lions and I wouldn't wish that upon him. But, him. But for a guy like that, who's trying to change the fortune of a franchise, I could see him being that guy, and he is a guy that nobody's going to work harder than him. You're going to see him get stronger and stronger. You're going to see him go hard on every down, and that rubs off on guys in that locker room that's something that's been lacking

1:44.4

with the lions i'd love to see it frankly bill and i think tibodeau is uh is a disaster waiting to happen

1:50.0

i think i see that guy and i think boy you want to talk about everything that's not culture uh that's him

1:55.7

so he was hoping man i would love to see it happen bill yeah one note note on Aaron Gibson, I did read that there's a group of people who are, and I think it's going to happen early May, 2020.

2:11.1

The Lions Draft Hall of Shame is being built right now in Hell, Michigan.

2:19.5

That's right down the road for me. So we can, we'll a ribbon bill come on down man it's gonna be uh right off the highway go to hell

2:25.6

turn left and it'd be so long that's such a huge uh think of all the guys that would be

2:31.4

there oh my god i think i'm looking at no God. I think I'm looking at the invite list.
