Initial reconnaissance report
“Sewell is a good size for the job. He shows good awareness and anticipation. Younger brother of Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell has average top speed and burst, but his closing speed downhill is good. Coverage is an area of his game that can improve, but overall the American Samoa-born linebacker has a solid foundation to build on.” — CBS Sports NFL Draft Analyst Josh Edwards
