Aidan Hutchinson Talks About Myles Garrett on Taylor Lautner’s Podcast

Myles Garrett’s Trade Request Sparks NFL Frenzy
Myles Garrett has reportedly requested a trade, and there isn’t a single team in the NFL that wouldn’t want him, including the Cleveland Browns. With an average of 15 sacks per season over the last four years, four All-Pro selections, and the title of 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett is a game-changing talent. The Eagles, Commanders, Cowboys, and 49ers have all expressed interest, and now Detroit Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson has also weighed in on the possibility of playing alongside him.

Hutchinson’s Admiration for Garrett
During a Super Bowl week episode of Taylor Lautner’s podcast, The Squeeze, Hutchinson was asked if there were any free agents he had his eye on. Lautner noted that Hutchinson had been seen chatting with Garrett at the NFL Honors. The Lions star was quick to acknowledge the impact Garrett could have on their defense.

A Dream Defensive Pairing?
“If me and Myles were to pair up, that would be… that would be deadly,” said Hutchinson. “We were just talking about what could be at the Honors. You know? And although it’s probably unlikely, I think I would be thrilled to play next to him if it were to happen. Our whole D-line would be totally elevated. That’d be a scary defensive line. And we get along too. I’ve seen him these last few years at different things. He texted me after I got hurt, which was just a cool thing. Like, guys outside of your own team reaching out to you. So I think he’s a good dude. If it happens, great, but I don’t know. We’ll see. But that would be awesome.”

The Potential Impact on the Lions’ Defense
A healthy Hutchinson alongside Garrett could have made a huge difference in the divisional round this year when Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders’ running backs dominated the defense. The thought of Garrett joining an already talented Detroit defense has fans dreaming of a powerhouse front capable of disrupting any offense in the league.

Will Garrett End Up in Detroit?
While a trade remains speculative, the idea of pairing two elite pass rushers is an exciting possibility. Whether Garrett ultimately lands in Detroit or another contender, his potential move will continue to be one of the biggest storylines of the offseason.
