Aidan Hutchinson is one of the most intriguing players to be taken in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he's not the only star in his family, his mother, Melissa Hutchinson, a photographer who uploads pictures related to her family to her Instagram account.

Hutchinson, 21, is a defensive end prospect for soccer, and could even be selected No. 1 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Melissa has been close to her son throughout his draft career, posting pictures with him, her two daughters, Mia and Aria, and her husband Chris, who played college football.

She has experienced something unknown

A proud mother, she has documented several of Aidan's stories in what Melissa has called a "surreal journey" into "uncharted territory".

"Had a little taste of it last week during an ESPN shoot we were honored to be a part of...I thought this image was such a poignant foreshadowing here as Aidan stands overlooking the city that will host one of the most extraordinary nights of his life," she captioned the post, which featured the Heisman Trophy runner-up at a pre-draft photo shoot with ESPN.

"I could write a book about our experience so far, but for now, all I can say is meeting and working with some of the most incredibly kind, hard-working, beautifully-spirited people has by far been some of the greatest experiences of my own life in the last 6 months. As you can imagine, this is all pretty surreal for our family, definitely unchartered territory....I say this over and again, but gratitude runs deep for all the support."

She also has an interest in the fashion world

Melissa went viral after she celebrated Michigan State's 42-27 win over Ohio State with her son on Nov. 27, appearing in the background of an on-field interview.

In addition to sharing her family life, Melissa loves the fashion world, in 2020 , she introduced her new ambassadorship with Savvi clothing, an athleisure brand.
