Lions sign second-round draft pick, Kentucky DL Josh Paschal

The Detroit Lions signed rookie defensive lineman Josh Paschal to a rookie contract, the team announced on Friday. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Paschal was the Lions' second-round pick (46th overall) from Kentucky. He registered 13 career sacks with 35.5 tackles for loss, including 5 sacks and 15 tackles for loss as a senior in 2021.

The Lions added Kentucky edge rusher Josh Paschal in the second round of the NFL Draft.

Paschal, who missed the team’s mandatory minicamp because of a lower-body injury, was a first-team All-SEC honoree in his last collegiate season.

The Lions have now signed all eight of their draft selections, including No.
