He then had a crucial part in bolstering a short-handed Lions’ defense during one of the team’s finest campaigns in history.
Currently, Kerby Joseph is etching his name into NFL history.
The NFL Network reported on Wednesday that Joseph inked a four-year, $86 million extension deal with the Lions. This contract represents the highest amount of money ever guaranteed to a safety.
In the third round of the 2022 draft, Joseph was selected. He topped the league in selections last year with nine, bringing his total to 17 across his initial three seasons.
It’s safe to say his former coach is delighted.
It will be thrilling to witness where additional Illinois players land this year as the draft begins on Thursday evening from Green Bay.
