Patriots selected BC EDGE Quintayvious Hutchins with the No. 247 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Hutchins (6’3/233) is an undersized, high-effort edge with an underwhelming 5.14 RAS whose 4.74 speed and 37-inch vertical hint at the burst he flashes more consistently in pursuit than at the snap. He generated 24 pressures on 176 rushes (13.6% pressure rate) with 2.0 sacks and 2 sacks created, showing an occasional ability to stress tackles with bend and footwork despite limited finishing power. Hutchins added 36 tackles, 4.5 TFL and 5 havoc plays with a strong 90.0% tackle rate, reflecting efficient tackling but modest impact volume over just 10 games. He wins with sequencing, a Euro-step flows into chop-rip and spin counters while using active hands and flexibility to slip blocks rather than overpower them. However, his lack of mass and length shows up versus NFL-caliber tackles, where he struggles to anchor, gets washed out at the point and lacks the first-step explosiveness to consistently convert pressures into sacks.
