Ladies and Gentlemen, Steve Hutchinson is just awesome. For as much credit as we give Adrian Peterson, people need to start giving more to the awesome offensive line that he plays behind. From Rotoworld: Vikings LG Steve Hutchinson was flagged for holding in Sunday’s win over Green Bay for the first time since December of 2003. The penalty negated a two-yard run by Adrian Peterson. Hutchinson also didn’t miss a start during his incredible 91-game streak, which included five playoff games. The six-time Pro Bowler has a Hall of Fame resume at age 32. Wow. Let’s think about that for one second. I would say that the average offensive linemen gets called for holding at least once every three games. That’s probably being generous. By that logic, Hutchinson is worth 300 yards over an average guard over this stretch just on penalties alone; Let alone the fact that he is awesome. Well played, Steve.
