Lions' Penei Sewell a 'man on a mission' heading into Year 3

Allen Park — Drafting is hard.

But if it wasn’t evident going into the 2022 season that Lions general manager Brad Holmes hit a home run with his first swing, it is now. Right tackle Penei Sewell, the No. 7 overall pick in 2021, is hitting another level going into his third season.

“I can’t say enough good things about Sewell,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Friday.

“There’s a reason why he was the first pick we had two years ago because we wanted to build around a guy like him. He’s our foundation.
