Professional career

Dallas Cowboys

Hutson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 1996 NFL Draft. He dropped because of a benign tumor that was found in his right lung, that could have potentially shortened his career.[2] As a rookie, he was converted into an offensive guard. He was waived on August 26 and later signed to the practice squad.[3] On January 5, 1997, he was promoted to the active roster for the Divisional playoff game against the Carolina Panthers, although he was declared inactive.

In 1997, he suffered a ligament injury in his right wrist during offseason workouts, that limited him to only playing in the final 2 preseason games. On August 24, he was released and signed to the practice squad two days later.[4] On November 4, he was promoted to the active roster for the last five games of the season.

In 1998, he was deactivated for the first 5 games of the season. He was also used as a second tight end on short yardage situations.

In 1999, he was limited by a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. He returned to practice on August 18 and played only in the final 2 preseason games. He got a chance to start 2 games at right tackle in place of an injured Erik Williams. He suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in the third game against the Arizona Cardinals and was placed on the injured reserve list on October 5.[5]

On August 27, 2000, he was cut after being passed on the depth chart by undrafted free agent Alcender Jackson.[6]

Washington Redskins

On October 9, 2000, he was signed as a free agent with the Washington Redskins, who were looking to replace an injured Tre' Johnson.[7] He wasn't re-signed at the end of the season.

Oakland Raiders

In 2001, he was signed by the Oakland Raiders as a free agent.[8] He was released before the start of the season, after he struggled with a triceps injury.[9]
