Aidan Hutchinson hilariously connects Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown with $128,000,000 reference in his $22 shirt

As the Detroit Lions prepared to take on the mighty Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a highly anticipated NFC showdown, it wasn’t just the matchup that had fans talking. Lions’ defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson, who has been making a name for himself with his on-field prowess, managed to steal the spotlight even before the kickoff.

Owing to his expectational performances on the gridiron, Hutchinson has evolved into a fan favorite already. However, this time it wasn’t through his football skills, but rather through his fashion statement that the DE became the center of attention.

Hutchinson shirt hogs the spotlight

Before entering Raymond James Stadium, Hutchinson was seen wearing a black Step Brothers-themed shirt that had everyone talking. The shirt featured none other than Lions quarterback Jared Goff and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in place of the movie’s stars, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. If you’ve seen the popular 2008 comedy, “Step Brothers,” you’d instantly recognize the classic image.

In the film, Ferrell played Brennan Huff, and Reilly portrayed Dale Doback. The story revolves around the hilarious misadventures of two grown men who still live with their parents. Things take a comedic turn when both their parents decide to get married, forcing the brothers to coexist and ultimately rebuild their family dynamic.

What makes Hutchinson’s choice of attire particularly humorous is the age gap between him and the film itself. The movie came out in 2008, which means that Aidan Hutchinson was just eight years old when it made its debut. So, one can’t help but chuckle at the fact that a young NFL player would choose a movie-themed shirt that predates his professional football career by a significant margin. As the Lions geared up to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Hutchinson’s Step Brothers-themed shirt served as a lighthearted pregame highlight.

Lions DE admitted living with parents

Aidan Hutchinson, despite being a highly touted NFL rookie, is embracing the lifestyle of an average 21-year-old. In a candid revelation this week, he shared that he’s chosen to reside with his parents while participating in the Detroit Lions’ offseason program, a decision that might seem surprising for someone in his position.

A Michigan native, Hutchinson’s choice to live with his parents holds a practical motivation—to save up money as he embarks on his rookie NFL season, per Sports Illustrated. Just a few weeks after the NFL Draft, he put pen to paper on a lucrative four-year, $35.7 million contract, which included an impressive $23 million signing bonus. While many NFL newcomers might be tempted to splurge on extravagant purchases, Hutchinson appears to be taking a more frugal approach for the time being.
