On Thursday night, the Detroit Lions used the No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select OT Penei Sewell out of Oregon.
Sewell’s rookie contract with the Lions will pay him a guaranteed $24 million over four years. The Lions will then be able to pick up a fifth-year option if they are so inclined, just as they just did with center, Frank Ragnow.
Let’s hope that Sewell is with the Lions for a very long time.
