He's a 3 yr captain at UK (never happened before). He's regarded as a "culture builder" in the locker room. He's a cancer survivor and a grown ass man.
-Heavy hands and one of the best run defenders in college.
-He can line up anywhere on the field. He's taken snaps outside the OT. He can play standing up or from two- and three-point stances at 5-technique. He can slide inside to 3-technique and even shade above the center.
-Violent at the POA with good explosion off the LOS.
-Plays low, great pad level.
-He's not the most bendy EDGE and his lateral ability isn't amazing. He's more of a power rusher then speed.
-3 yr starter so how much more will he improve? He needs to work on counters (having more of a pass rush plan).
-Will he ever be "the dude" or is he a guy that will just be a solid piece to a DL? meaning is he gonna be the guy doing the dirty work taking on doubles and creating chaos while someone else gets the sacks TFLs? He's kinda a f**k up the play guy, rather than just sack the QB off the edge DE.
-He's not really a straight up "edge rusher" and playing all over the line while amazing might be one of those jack of trades master of none things.
He reminds me of another former Kentucky pass rusher in Za'Darius Smith.
Here is his RAS score
Josh Paschal is a DE prospect in the 2022 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.09 RAS at the Combine out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 128 out of 1389 DE from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/HksY0qDSyH #RAS via @Mathbomb pic.twitter.com/k8Ynmdluu1

I see him as a day 2 prospect...would feel better about taking him in the 3rd.
