Hutch is 2 1/2" taller, but Kerrigan has 1 1/2" longer arms. It pretty much splits the difference and I'd rather have arm length over height. Kerrigan was also thicker and stronger. I also don't really think Hutch is all that more explosive. I think he's a little more athletic, but as far as explosive goes, they kind of off set themselves.

Both had 1.61 10 splits. Aidan had a 36" vert and 9'9" broad. Kerrigan had a 33 1/2" vert and 10'2" broad.

It's not because they're both white, but because they both have a similar skill set and they both win the same way. Hands and hustle. Hutch's agility drills tested high, but he seems to play stiffer than those suggest. For whatever reason that is, he looks just like Kerrigan did coming out imo. Neither of them bend the edge, but kinda stutter step around it. Both stout against the run/setting an edge.

No doubt Hutch will be good, but just not a superstar. I watched one of the videos promoting him and the impact he did have against Georgia I noticed the QB was moving his way in the pocket as his partner Ojabo was applying pressure or about to beat his man forcing this. Too bad Ojabo got a knee, but then that must make our GM drool.  I got to wondering which one of those was the train engine and which one the caboose?  I think he will struggle early on we will need patience as he develops his pass rush. The high motor description only means he tries hard not that he is athletic. His size is a limiting factor there. He does test well...
