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.

Hutch looks much quicker to me than Kerrigan did and his change of direction is also elite which showed in his 3 cone.  On the arm length I don't think it really matters that much for pass rushers like I want may OT's to have, it will be nice for batted balls but his height along with his arm length will likely be higher than most. He wins with hand and hustle, but also pure drive and strength and he will likely only get stronger.  I think he's underrated a bit as a prospect imo even though he's number 1.  I think he has All Pro potential and will make a huge impact year 1 for us.  Most think he can be good but not great, I think he can be great for us and our best DE of All time.  I hope I'm right on that if we take him lol
