A proven elite right tackle, Sewell will reprise his starting role on an uber-talented Detroit offense.
One of the top young offensive linemen in the league, Sewell gives Detroit a premium bookend to stud left tackle Taylor Decker.
A force to be reckoned with as a rookie, Sewell will look to bookend Taylor Decker to give Detroit one of the best tandems at offensive tackle league-wide.
The No. 7 overall pick in the draft, Sewell's addition could take Detroit's offensive line to the next level.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become league's best RT
OTDetroit Lions
August 13, 2023
Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com believes Sewell could supplant Lane Johnson as the league's best right tackle in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Sewell has the skills to play left tackle at a high level, but he's been deployed on the right side since Detroit already has a solid starter at left tackle in Taylor Decker. Coming off a Pro-Bowl season, Sewell's already among the league's top right tackles. The seventh overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft could be even better in his third year, while the 33-year-old Johnson may start to experience age-related decline after getting the first-team All-Pro nod at right tackle in 2022.
