HBO’s Hard Knocks series that follows one NFL team on their journey throughout training camp and the NFL preseason is always a hit with fans, and the popular show made another amazing moment involving Detroit Lions‘ first-round pick Aiden Hutchinson.
Rookies on the show are typically shown being hazed, but Hutchinson embraced the moment when he was asked to sing a rendition of Michael Jackson’s hit song “Billie Jean” in front of the team at training camp.

The rest of the Lions team watching the performance really got into it, with the majority of the players being shown either dancing or singing along creating a legendary Hard Knocks moment.
Hutchinson showed off some impressive dance moves and his vocals surprisingly sounded pretty good.
This moment has caught the attention of the NFL world, with many praising Hutchinson for embracing the moment and putting his all into the rendition.
I'm just watching this on repeat. https://t.co/6j2rrmLOFs

Aiden Hutchinson getting up in front of the team, announcing his signing bonus, messing up Billie Jean, and then nailing it like a boss with the @Lions VIBING the whole time IS WHAT I NEEDED IN MY LIFE ❤️🕺🏻 I freaking love this team.

There are always fan favorites that emerge from the show, and it looks like Hutchinson may emerge in that role for many NFL fans watching the show.
The former Michigan product currently sits as the favorite to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year, currently sitting at +550 odds to win the award. He should be heavily featured for the team next season, and if his charisma off the field is any indication, he could be a star in the making in the NFL if his on-field skills can back it up.
