Pacheco’s Comeback Chance with Lions | Detroit Lions News
Description
Isiah Pacheco, the former Super Bowl champ turned Detroit Lion, is aiming for a bounce-back in 2026 after injury setbacks—including a broken leg and MCL sprain—slowed him down. Despite limited yardage (462 on 118 carries), he excelled at avoiding negative plays, posting the lowest stuff rate among qualified backs. His tape shows his signature aggression, but explosiveness is down (just 10 explosive runs in 2025), partly due to the Chiefs’ weak run-blocking. With the Lions’ OL showing modest improvement, Pacheco’s key is sustaining his elusive running style. If he can stay efficient and the line holds up, he might rediscover his explosive potential—especially with Jahmyr Gibbs carrying the load.
