Tyler Sullivan warned bettors to stay away from Aidan Hutchinson at +300 to win Comeback Player of the Year. Sullivan reminded listeners that a defensive player has not won this award under normal circumstances since Eric Berry’s 2015 post-cancer season, and the only recent exception was Damar Hamlin’s life-threatening incident in 2023. He pointed out that Hutchinson’s seven-and-a-half sacks in just five games before last year’s leg injury show his upside, but Detroit still has no proven edge rusher opposite him. Because the Lions need Hutchinson fresh for a December–January playoff push, Sullivan expects the team to manage his snaps early, limiting the splash games voters crave. Combine the offensive/quarterback bias of the award with a likely pitch-count start, and Sullivan believes Hutchinson’s short futures price is a poor value play and an avoid in award-prop markets.
