Hutchinson often dances at Ford Field wearing a Honolulu blue jersey, a silver helmet and eye black on one side of his face that he says prepares him for war. It starts above his eyebrow and reaches a point on his cheek around his mouth.

Not long ago, however, he was dancing at his home stadium wearing a pastel shirt and jorts — a tribute to Taylor Swift’s “Lover” album. Hutchinson was in a private suite for the Eras Tour concert with family and friends, including some little girls.

None of the other Swifties in the suite were more animated than Aidan. “He peaked that night during ‘You Belong With Me’ and ‘Love Story,’” his sister Mia says.

Going to try this at work today, maybe spin and saute myself into a bonus!

Hutchinson's tried spinning? That's a neat trick.

It's actually somewhat common practice for football players to do ballet and/or yoga to help their balance, limberness, etc.

[–] SevroAuShitTalker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I imagine every pro athlete does yoga at this point

[–] JesusChristSupers1ar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

tbh everyone should do yoga. The two exercises I want to do until the day I die are yoga and golf

Good on Hutchinson! Will pay off over his career, flexibility is so underrated. A few years back my spring season suitor in ballet was a player on the Jets, and two of his teammates were part of the season as well. Won't reveal any names but was impressed by how much they applied themselves to it. And it's always a fun surprise to see a pro from any sport in my Pilates classes.

I always thought Marshawn Lynch in his prime would have also been good at ballet. His nimbleness was always something to behold.

Barry Sanders did tap dancing I believe.

Alex Collins did Irish dancing.

[–] Statalyzer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A lot of Irish and Scottish dances can get pretty damn strenuous.

[–] HappyLongfellow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't say ballet is common. Yoga, yes but every athlete does that.

Aidan Hutchinson danced ballet and Myles Garrett writes poetry. Next you’re going to tell me TJ Watt loves the orchestra and Micah Parsons has a contemporary art collection.

[–] Deep-Secret@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The contemporary art Micah collects is just photos of feet.

Also, and this is pretty old news, but Justin Tucker is an Opera singer. And a good one too.

[–] Remarkable-Job4774@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And Justin Tucker sings opera

These are obviously not the "masculine virtues America needs". Football ain't what it used to be and this is the reason why./s

“Not long ago, however, he was dancing at his home stadium wearing a pastel shirt and jorts — a tribute to Taylor Swift’s “Lover” album. Hutchinson was in a private suite for the Eras Tour concert with family and friends, including some little girls.”

So we’re at the crossover event for the NFL scriptwriters now.

I know Lonachenko used to do ballet and he has some incredible footwork as a boxer. Maybe there’s something to that

BREAKING: Bears' Coach Eberflus has offensive line study Swan Lake to prepare for the Lions defensive front.

It'll be easy to find productions of The Nut Cracker pretty soon.

Makes sense

The best thing I did as a high school player was do wrestling for four years.

Helped out with balance and leverage tremendously.

[–] GaryBag@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You learned to dance like that sarcastically?

[–] giants888@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I would have my cornerbacks practice pop-locking

  • Jukes a guy

“And that’s hip hop”

[–] Fatherfuckyou@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was wondering where he got his sneaky athleticism

[–] Proper-Scallion-252@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Everyone knows Aiden only learned ballet so that he could make fun of guys when he was a kid to show them how queer they were, okay?

[–] Sinnerandsmoke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s always ballet

[–] 2222lil@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

not sure id define it as “impressive” at this point

[–] DanCampbell89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
