All eyes are on Russell Wilson and Justin Fields this Saturday as the Steelers face the Detroit Lions in their final NFL Preseason game.

The first two seasons with the Detroit Lions weren’t as successful as hoped for defensive end Josh Paschal. The 2022 second-round pick from Kentucky has recorded just three sacks in 22 career games.

Every offseason there are surprise players who ascend throughout training camp and do enough to warrant a spot on an NFL roster.
