Aidan Hutchinson Leading the Pack for Comeback and Defensive Player of the Year
Aidan Hutchinson isn’t just looking to bounce back from his injury—he’s aiming to dominate. The Detroit Lions’ star defensive end is currently the betting favorite to win both the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year in 2025, according to DraftKings.
Hutchinson’s odds (+650) put him ahead of elite defenders like T.J. Watt, Micah Parsons, and Myles Garrett for DPOY honors. Meanwhile, he’s also leading the comeback race at +200, outpacing Christian McCaffrey, Dak Prescott, and Trevor Lawrence. If he can stay healthy and return to his dominant form, Hutchinson could be bringing home multiple trophies next year.
But that’s not all—Hutchinson has already spoken with Myles Garrett, who recently requested a trade from the Browns, about the possibility of teaming up in Detroit. If that happens, the Lions’ defense could become an even bigger nightmare for opposing quarterbacks.
With Hutchinson poised for a monster season, could 2025 be the year both he and the Lions make history?
