Congrats are in order for Detroit Lions rookie right tackle Penei Sewell. The Lions’ first-round pick earned a spot on the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) all-rookie team for 2021.
Sewell and fellow first-rounder RaShawn Slater both had outstanding NFL debuts at tackle. Sewell’s play really ascended when he moved to the right tackle position midyear.
Despite significant contributions from the rookie class, Sewell was the only Detroit player to make the list.
