The 25-year-old said his mother and sisters do not hesitate to inform him if he does not smell right or look appropriate. "They make sure I'm on my Ps and my Qs, and they'll call me out if I'm looking a little crazy," Hutchinson told People.

"Or (if) I smell a certain type of way, they're going to call me out and they're going to let me know," he added. A day in the life of Aidan Hutchinson is full of workouts and physical activities. Depending on the intensity of the day, Hutchinson said he showers multiple times a day to maintain hygiene.

Hutchinson, who was the Lions’ second overall pick in 2022, says he showers right after his workout in the morning. He also prefers a hot tub “rinse off” after an intense practice session. Hutchinson told the magazine that there were days when he showered three times.

As a professional athlete in the NFL, Aidan Hutchinson prioritizes his physical well-being over anything else. He told People that he considers his body his “temple.”

"After games, I like to do a lot of Epsom salt stuff. A lot of that muscular relieving soreness and stuff like that," the NFL star said. Last year, he suffered a season-ending leg injury. Hutchinson emphasized that he feels excellent right now.

"I'm feeling great. I really feel like it's all behind me, and I've been playing good football since I got back,” Hutchinson concluded.
