Detroit Lions Offensive Tackle Penei Sewell Earns NFLPA All-Pro Selection, Praised by Teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown as One of the Best Linemen Ever
In a testament to his dominant play, Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell has been named to the NFLPA All-Pro team, as voted on by his peers across the NFL. Sewell’s selection was met with high praise from his teammate, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who called the 23-year-old the “coldest lineman” he’s ever seen.
“Penei is a dog. Penei is OD. He does some stuff where I’m like yo. He’s the coldest lineman I’ve ever seen,” St. Brown said on the St. Brown Podcast, with special guest Deebo Samuel. “Obviously Trent [Williams] is one of the best to ever do it, but Penei, he’s only 23.”
Sewell’s inclusion on the NFLPA All-Pro team, as voted on by his fellow players, speaks volumes about the respect he has earned around the league. At just 23 years old, Sewell is already being mentioned in the same breath as future Hall of Famers like Trent Williams and Lane Johnson, a testament to his dominant play.
The former Oregon Ducks standout has quickly established himself as one of the premier right tackles in the NFL, and his selection to the NFLPA All-Pro team is a well-deserved honor. While the legacy media All-Pro team will always hold significance, being chosen by a group of peers means something entirely different.
As Sewell continues to improve and establish himself as one of the best in the business, the accolades are sure to keep rolling in. With his combination of size, strength, and technique, the sky is the limit for the young offensive tackle, and his teammates are taking notice.
