Former Kentucky Wildcat and now member of the Detroit Lions, Josh Paschal, was recently featured in a short documentary discussing his cancer diagnosis and path to the NFL.
The documentary was produced
by the Detroit Lions as part of the NFL’s Crucial Catch initiative, a partnership with the American Cancer Society that aims to help more people catch cancer early, and address the unequal burden of cancer in under-resourced communities.
Many Kentucky fans remember when Paschal was diagnosed with melanoma in 2018 before the beginning of his sophomore season. This 34-minute documentary goes into great detail about the events leading up to the diagnosis and his journey.
Fair warning: it’s very emotional, so don’t be surprised if you shed a tear… or two… or three…
I won’t spoil too much of it, but if you do anything today, take about half-an-hour to watch this. I promise it’s worth it.
I think we’ve all been Josh Paschal fans since his time at Kentucky, but this makes you want to root for him even more.
