Unbelievable :Penei Sewell announced his resignation from the Detroit Lions this season…..
Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell has stepped into a leadership role in his third season as a pro.
The Oregon product has established himself as a bookend of the offensive line, holding down the right tackle position alongside a talented group. Through eight games, he’s Detroit’s third-highest PFF-graded player with an 82.4 overall mark.
He has yet to allow a sack this season in 323 pass block snaps, per PFF, and holds a streak dating back to Week 10 of last year. Should he prevent the Chargers from notching one, his streak will have spanned an entire calendar year.
“I think it’s just kind of getting more comfortable with the game. Year three, playing right tackle now,” Sewell told the team’s website. “Not having to focus on flipping my feet and trying to engage different types of muscles. Just being comfortable with that and also the game plan. Trying to lock into the snap count more and not just thinking, ‘What do I do? How do I do it?’ My mind’s just slowing down.”
Entering Sunday’s game, the exact total is 625 pass blocks without allowing a single sack. In 2023, he has allowed just four pressures and has garnered a 98.6 pass blocking efficiency rating.
