Explore NFL player picksKerby Joseph Bio
Kerby Joseph is a Detroit Lions safety who remains on the club’s 2026 roster and is listed on reserve/PUP as of September 17, 2026. Born November 14, 2000, in Orlando, Florida, Joseph stands 6 feet tall and weighs 210 pounds. He played college football at Illinois before entering the NFL.
Joseph developed from a defensive-back and special-teams contributor at Illinois into a starting safety and a first-team All-Big Ten selection after the 2021 season. The Detroit Lions selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. His early professional career included NFC Defensive Player of the Week recognition in 2022, and he earned first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors in 2024.
Joseph’s playing style is built around deep-field awareness, anticipation and opportunistic playmaking. He has become known for reading quarterbacks, arriving decisively on the football and creating turnovers from the safety position. Detroit’s 2026 roster materials continue to identify him as a Lions safety, while the team’s initial-roster announcement placed him on reserve/PUP for the start of the season.
