Josh Paschal

It was a forgettable rookie year for Paschal, who missed most of last offseason with a sports hernia injury that delayed his professional debut until Week 6. The second-round draft pick ultimately recorded just 16 tackles, two sacks and four quarterback hits over 10 games. Entering the 2023 season, Paschal has rotated in behind starting defensive ends Aidan Hutchinson and Charles Harris during training camp, so there is hope he could see a huge jump in snaps and counting stats in Year 2.

Paschal could have a big role in Detroit in the years to come, but the second-round rookie has missed most team preparations for the 2022 season due to a sports hernia injury that dates back to his days at Kentucky. Even if he works his way back to the field at some point this fall, Paschal's upside is likely some sort of rotational role as a rookie.
