Penei Sewell listed as best OT in NFL by execs, coaches
Detroit Lions left tackle Penei Sewell has been voted the top offensive tackle in the NFL by executives and coaches in an ESPN poll. The 25-year-old, who just earned his third-consecutive First Team All-Pro selection, was praised by a veteran defensive coach as "the most complete player at this stage -- physical, powerful, smart." Though Sewell acknowledged that 2025 wasn't his best season due to injuries, he remains widely regarded as the league's best at his position since entering the NFL in 2021.
This offseason, Sewell is moving back to left tackle after spending most of his Lions tenure at right tackle. Coach Dan Campbell expressed confidence the transition will be seamless, citing Sewell's college experience at the position and past work in practice.
