Kentucky defensive end Josh Paschal is a hit without making a tackle on any field, any time. Paschal’s role in an ad for a pediatric dentist in the Bluegrass State is nothing short of genius.
In the video, Dr. Danny Steckler of Steckler Pediatric Dentistry says Paschal was hired to help communicate the importance of oral health.
Paschal smacks a sugary beverage out of a child’s hand in the opening scene and yells, “Don’t be bringing these sugar-coated lies into my house,” while wagging his finger in the child’s face. He then reaches through a car window to grab sugary snacks from an unsuspecting driver who says he isn’t even going to the dentist.
The commercial then moves to the lobby of the dentist’s office, where Paschal is giving a pep talk to parents and their kids about staying off Facebook and TikTok before bedtime and instead focusing on brushing their teeth.
It’s been great working with Steckler Pediatric Dentistry (@kykidsdentist) and the kids in the community with their oral health! I am the #DefenderOfDecay! @creativecaddie #ad pic.twitter.com/HT8OGg2Bx2

Paschal should go from NIL star to the NFL.
The 6-foot-3, 278-pound Paschal has intriguing prospects for an NFL future. He has 51 tackles in 11 games, 14.5 for loss, and 4.5 sacks.
