JARED QUAY: What's up, everybody? Jared Quay here from Radio Row. Super Bowl 56. I'm here with Michigan All-American and future NFL draft pick Aidan Hutchinson. How are you doing today, brother?
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: I'm doing great, man. I'm doing excellent. How are you doing? You good?
JARED QUAY: Aidan Hutchinson's a name-- not everybody knows it yet. But it has a nice ring to it.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: That's right.
JARED QUAY: You're going to make it big. What's surprising is most people that are your age right now, and probably a lot of your peers, are putting on coats and going to literature class right now.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: That's right.
JARED QUAY: Here you are at the Super Bowl. You excited to be here?
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Oh I'm fired up, man. This is a cool venue, man. It's great to be here, and great to be talking to you, man.
JARED QUAY: All right on to the NFL. I know there's a wish list. Every great defensive lineman has a list of people they want to sack. I mean, obviously Tom Brady may not be somebody you get to sack. Who are some people you look forward to in the NFL that you may be able to bring down to the ground?
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Well Tom Brady was my number one. And then a couple weeks ago, we find out that he's retired. And so I was very disappointed by that. Because that was one of my goals was to sack him. Because I grew up frickin' dressing like Tom Brady for Halloween and stuff like that. So that would have been cool. But now, I mean, we're on to Aaron Rodgers, hopefully he doesn't retire. And then some of the young dudes coming up. So Josh Allen, get those newcomers.
JARED QUAY: You got to get Burrow at least once, right? Yeah, you got to get Burrow once.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: He's got all the swagger. I got to take him down.
JARED QUAY: In all honesty, you can sack Tom Brady but people might get mad at you. You might get arrested. You're here on behalf of Autotrader, man. I see the cool shirt. Can you tell us a little bit about what you're doing with Autotrader?
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Yeah, it's been a really crazy year and it's only getting crazier. So that's why I'm partnering with Autotrader for my first purchase of a car in the NFL. They have a very wide selection of cars. And they got their best new cars list for 2022 as well. So definitely be looking into that. And excited for this Autotrader partnership.
JARED QUAY: Hey, what kind of car are we getting? What's the first car-- now that you got any car you can get, what's the dream car?
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Well I'm thinking either a Bronco or a Gladiator, something along those lines. So--
JARED QUAY: Man, that's the Michigan in you. That's like, I need snow tires. Jacksonville got the first pick.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: That's right.
JARED QUAY: Yeah, you need to get your convertible or something, man.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Little top down something. Yeah, man. But yeah, it's great.
JARED QUAY: Well look, man, I appreciate you coming and hang out with me, man. I can't wait for the draft and see you sack all the quarterbacks you named on that list, man. I wish you the best, man. And afterwards, you guys, if we work on that sack dance and you see it, man, you know I helped him, man. It's the Jared Quay special.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: Thanks for having me, man.
JARED QUAY: Aidan, thank you, man. I appreciate you, brother. Boom, pound it. Don't want to be left hanging.
AIDAN HUTCHINSON: You hit me with one of these.
JARED QUAY: It was weird. I had--

AIDAN HUTCHINSON: I didn't see the fist.
JARED QUAY: All right.
