Michigan’s technician-turned-tone-setter
In the 2000 season, Steve Hutchinson was a unanimous First Team All-American and the Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, capping a Michigan career in which he was a four-year starter and two-time captain who helped power a 41-8 Wolverines run with a national title in 1997. His calling card was consistency, elite pass protection, and nasty competitiveness—he reportedly did not allow a sack over his junior and senior seasons. If you want a reliable, high-IQ interior lineman with leadership and toughness baked in, Hutchinson is the blueprint.
