A Hall of Fame career with Steve Hutchinson

Though the wait was a little longer than he had hoped, Steve Hutchinson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the class of 2020. On Schooled with the Professor, we were able to go deep into his incredible career as a guard. From the first day he lined up as a Seahawk, Hutchinson was a dominating presence on the offensive line. As he described, a lot of defensive players who liked to talk didn’t say much when they played Hutchinson. Those who went against him knew they were in for a long day. Not only was Hutchinson gifted as a blocker, but he was smart. He learned a lot about blocking from two former teammates - Robbie Tobeck and Chris Gray. He had very good offensive line coaches. Whatever team he was on - Seattle, Minnesota and Tennessee - those teams were among the best running teams in the game. His intelligence on the line helped his quarterbacks. During his career, he had seven seasons in which he allowed three-and-a-half or less sacks and was only flagged nine times during his career for holding. The Hall of Famer joins us on Schooled.
