My agent and I sat down and talked about the position we were in through the run of the stretch. Its been on a wave, but knowing the mentality and the aggression I bring, finding who Im going to play for next that could accommodate that. The coach and the staff here, the Ford family they believed in me and gave me the opportunity to give 110% here, and Im going to show you all that the real No. 10 is back.On Joining Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions BackfieldJahmyr is a hell of a player. Hats off to him and the guys. Theyve been putting in work here for a couple years now. From the outside looking in, its just a hell of a group. Whatever I can do to contribute to the team, its going to happen. Whether its running the ball, wherever its at, it dont matter where Im at on the field cheering the guys on, bringing excitement to the team, bringing leadership and accountability.Im a two-time champ, but Im not satisfied. Thats something Im not satisfied with. Im more hungry than I ever was, and Im ready to get to work.On Recovering From InjuryIt was definitely a crazy experience going through that. I never broke a bone like that before to that extreme. But it was definitely a major comeback and just having the mindset of winning a day every day coming into the building winning the day to get back next to the guys.When youre injured, youre out of the building. Just being around the guys and showing them that Im there. So when I did step back foot on the field, it wasnt like I was missing.Yes, it can slow you down, but having that mentality of a dog and staying unsatisfied is important when it comes to this because you can get really comfortable with the circumstances.For me, just being unsatisfied and getting back to it with Sonic they can call me Taz. Im going to go crazy. Im going to spin, jump, whatever I can do to get the first down to complement Jahmyr. Were fast, weve got speed, and they cant sleep on it.What Winning Super Bowls Taught HimComing in from day one, setting a standard. Thats the main thing coming in here and setting a standard and accountability.Youve got guys that work different around the building. Me, Im going to set a standard coming in 110%. Thats important when youve got someone new coming into the building.Players observe. When I was on another team and saw players come in, we observed them as players. Thats how you figure out who youre going to go to war with.For me, its about setting the first and best impression. Im hungry and I want to win it here not anywhere else.On Being Motivated by DoubtersAbsolutely. Ive been through adversity my whole life. Adding fuel to the fire helps me win the day.Today was a roller coaster, but the staff showed me around the building. Im very blessed and thankful to have them in my corner.It made it easier for me to come in here today and get ready. The most important thing is finding that mentality in every player that DNA to win.His First Conversation With Dan CampbellOur first conversation, I was screaming on the phone: Lets go! Im ready to go. Put me in.He said, Oh yeah, Pacheco. What number are you going with? Are you going with 10?I said, Lets go. Im on my way. Im coming home.There were a lot of teams interested. I had eight opportunities to go to different teams. Kansas City was one of them. But once they made that move, I knew I had to open the door somewhere else. This was the first place I thought of.My fathers a Leo. Hes a lion. So were going far, baby.On His Violent Running StyleThat violent rushing style comes from being unsatisfied.When you go out on the field, you never know when your last play will be. Making that play for your teammate shows them that you care about them.When youve got a wide receiver blocking down the field for you, you love that as a running back. When you get the opportunity to block for him, youre going to finish everything to help him get positive yardage.It comes with the mentality of being accountable to each other.What Football Means to HimFootball is my art. I love it. I bleed it.I would die for this game. It sounds crazy, but I love it that much.I wouldnt want to be anywhere else besides here today with this new family.Weve got something to prove and were going to write the story.Players He Already Knows on the LionsOne of the guys signed today was Christian Izien, who was one of my former teammates at Rutgers.Kerby Joseph, Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jared Goff texted me.He said, Hey brother, Im glad to have you a part of the team. I cant wait to get to work.I said lets do it. Lets set the standard day one. Im excited to get to work with you.I cant wait to block my ass off for him.The offensive line will show what type of player I am. It starts at practice first.Proving The Real No. 10 Is BackThrough opportunities, you make the best of them. I can only control what I control.If Im getting 100 carries, Im getting 100. If Im getting 20, Im getting 20.I keep the same mentality every day in the building.Whether I was starting or not, if my name was on that board I was in those leadership meetings on time.Its about setting the standard in the room for the younger guys.On the Lions Being Close to a ChampionshipWatching from afar, theyre very close.I want to be someone they can count on someone they can look left and right at and know Ive got their back.Thats the type of player I am.Were going to win together. Thats what its all about.His First Impression of the Lions Offensive LineTheyve got some big boys on that line.Every time I saw that offensive line I was sitting back like theyre all like seven feet tall.As a younger player, being around guys like that, you realize how special they are.Im still growing and willing to learn. Im all ears.On His Time in Kansas CityI love every single one of those coaches and players in that building.Everyone treated me the way you want to be treated in a building. Thats what brotherhood is about.Whatever you do, do it 100%.When youre accountable, you can bring the whole team with you.On His Pass Blocking MindsetIts something I built in college.I played quarterback in high school, so blocking wasnt something I was used to.When I got to college, the biggest part of my game I had to build was blocking.I had to figure out a way to get down there, put my chin under someones chin strap and hold him up.Every camp you get better and better.Iron sharpens iron thats where the magic happens.On Playing Quarterback in High SchoolI was a running throwing quarterback.I rushed for over 1,000 yards that season.I only had about 500 passing yards.My high school coach always told me, Be smart. Run out of bounds. You dont need to take those extra hits.But I always wanted to crush somebody.As the years go on, youve got to get smarter about it.The post Everything Isiah Pacheco Said At His Introductory Press Conference With Detroit Lions appeared first on Detroit Sports Nation.
