Aidan Hutchinson, the projected No. 1 pick in the NFL draft on Thursday, wore his great-grandfather's dog tag against Ohio State during his freshman year, but was afraid of losing it and didn't wear it in a game again. His mother, meanwhile, had her grandfather's dog tag with her at every Michigan game the past three seasons.

Jacksonville is expected to select Hutchinson with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, April 28. It's easy to see why the Jaguars would want him after watching what Hutchinson did last year at Michigan. Scouts who searched for more about his background found out Chris and Melissa raised a well-rounded son, uniquely shaped by a close-knit family that includes two older sisters.
