The Michigan Wolverines are certainly making some noise at this year's NFL Scouting Combine, beginning with the 'freak' athlete that some are projecting to go No. 1 overall: Aidan Hutchison.

The elite athleticism for a player at his position was undeniable when Hutchinson took the field in Indy on Saturday. During the 3-cone drill, Hutchinson posted the fastest time by any DL over 6-5 at the combine since 2003. 

According to The Athletic's Bruce Feldman, some of Hutchinson's numbers put him in a class with the skill players. 

"Aidan Hutchinson's shuttle times are why he's such a freak," wrote Feldman. "His 6.73 3-conetime is third best at the Combine (behind a pair of wide receivers) and his 20-yard shuttle time of 4.15 is second fastest, and the guy who beat it is almost a foot shorter and weighs 90-pounds less."

Leading up to the Scouting Combine, Hutchinson made it clear that he had every intention of putting on a show when he took the field in Indy. "I'm gonna do everything at the combine," said Hutchinson on The Pat McAfee Show. "I'm not scared of anything, and I can't wait to light that thing up." 

Mission accomplished.
