Quintayvious

Hutchins

The Patriots released a statement saying, “We are aware of the report involving Quintayvious Hutchins. We take these matters very seriously and are in the process of gathering additional information.” Hutchins pleaded not guilty. He was the No. 247 pick in the draft this year. The league will likely let the legal situation play out before stepping in.

Hutchins (6’3/233) is an undersized, high-effort edge with an underwhelming 5.14 RAS whose 4.74 speed and 37-inch vertical hint at the burst he flashes more consistently in pursuit than at the snap. He generated 24 pressures on 176 rushes (13.6% pressure rate) with 2.0 sacks and 2 sacks created, showing an occasional ability to stress tackles with bend and footwork despite limited finishing power. Hutchins added 36 tackles, 4.5 TFL and 5 havoc plays with a strong 90.0% tackle rate, reflecting efficient tackling but modest impact volume over just 10 games. He wins with sequencing, a Euro-step flows into chop-rip and spin counters while using active hands and flexibility to slip blocks rather than overpower them. However, his lack of mass and length shows up versus NFL-caliber tackles, where he struggles to anchor, gets washed out at the point and lacks the first-step explosiveness to consistently convert pressures into sacks.
