Taylor Decker on Penei Sewell struggles: He’s going to be ‘really good,’ just needs reps

Detroit Lions rookie Penei Sewell has recently been a source of anxiety for fans. The 2021 seventh overall pick has struggled in the preseason, allowing sacks in back-to-back games and earning the team’s lowest PFF grade in both contests, as well. While it’s far too early to have any real concern for Sewell’s future, it’s also not exactly reassuring to see the team’s first-round selection go through some early growing pains.

But Lions left tackle Taylor Decker isn’t having any of that. Decker has seen plenty of the Lions rookie right tackle to believe he’s going to be just fine.
