Former Kentucky defenseman and malignant melanoma survivor, Josh Paschal, made an impression during his NFL debut this week for the Detroit Lions. Paschal incurred an untimely sports hernia that forced him to miss the first six weeks of the season, but the Lions wasted no time throwing him into the fire once he was ready to take the field.
Paschal played 89% of the Lions’ defensive snaps, and while the statistician only credited him with two tackles (the same number that quarterback, Jared Goff, had if that tells you anything about the Lions’ offense), he made a big impact.
