How's this for a start to your NFL career?
Not only was Kerby Joseph the NFL's highest-graded safety in Week 9 per Pro Football Focus, the Lions rookie is the NFL's second-highest-graded safety this season, trailing only Pro Bowler Antoine Winfield Jr. of the Bucs.
Not only did Joseph pick off Aaron Rodgers Sunday at Ford Field, he became just the fourth player ever to get him twice in the same game -- and both interceptions erased potential touchdowns in the Lions' 15-9 win.
Not only did Joseph enter Detroit's starting lineup just five games ago, he became a full-time starting safety in college just a year ago. The third-round pick out of Illinois is introducing himself quickly and clearly to the NFL.
And Joseph will have you know he's just getting started. Er, 'sharted.'
In his own words, shared Monday via Instagram, "I just been farting. Y'all ain't seen [sh*t]."
Joseph was forced out of Sunday's game due to a potential brain injury after a fourth-quarter collision with Jeff Okudah and remains in concussion protocol, but it sounds like he's trending in the right direction.
Dan Campbell said Monday the Lions are "certainly hopeful" Joseph will be back on the field this week for Sunday's game in Chicago, where they'd like to flush a skid of seven losses in their last eight games against the Bears.
