Football players have made money by using their names, images and likenesses since July, when college athletes were allowed to make money off of their names, images and likenesses. The Kentucky defensive end's latest deal is the funniest one of the bunch.

A video commercial he shot with a local dentist was posted on his account. The partnership is pure comedy, even though it sounds boring and even painful.

It's been great working with the kids in the community with their oral health. I am theDefender of Decay.

Joshua Paschal is on November 23, 2021.

In the video, Dr. Danny Steckler says that he hired Paschal to help communicate the importance of oral health.

In the opening scene of the movie, a child has a sugar-coated beverage in his hand and Paschal yells, "Don't be bringing these sugar-coated lies into my house." He reached through a car window to grab a snack from the driver who said he wasn't going to the dentist.

The dentist's office lobby is where Paschal is giving a pep talk to parents and their kids about staying off Facebook and TikTok before bed and instead brushing their teeth.

Who knew Kentucky's leader in tackles for loss had acting skills? The commercial ends with Paschal yelling at kids after he beat them in a video game and then filling in for a dental hygienist who was working on a patient.

He has had a few signing events, launched his own website and had a joke with the NIL. He signed with a local attorney to produce a billboard that read "Size matters" while featuring some of the bigger Kentucky football players.

Proud to partner up with For The People.

September 28, 2021, is Joshua Paschal's birthday.

We've seen a lot of NIL deals come through from college football athletes, including the one that created buzz with the signing of Kansas Jayhawks walk-on JaredCasey. We haven't seen many that have created a buzz like Paschal's new commercial.
