Former Illini football safety Kerby Joseph, now with the Detroit Lions ended up in a scuffle with Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers in a joint practice today. Joseph has quickly made a name for himself in the NFL after the Detroit Lions drafted him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Kerby Joseph is coming off a terrific second season in Detroit where he had four interceptions for the second season in a row making his career total too eight.
It’s great to see Kerby Joseph flourishing in the NFL and hopefully, this fight with rookie Malik Nabers is just a blip on the radar of an otherwise great career. I think it is fair to chalk this up as two competitors going at one another in an intense practice, and that happens in training camp.
