Penei Sewell Draft Projection: 5 landing spots for the Oregon OT (4-29-21):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/penei-sewell-draft-projection-5-landing-spots-oregon-ot/

The 2021 NFL Draft's Best At Everything: Most accurate passer, best route-runner, best in pass protection, best man-cover corner and more (BEST ZONE SCHEME: PENEI SEWELL, OREGON - Sewell’s blend of athleticism, size and play strength are why he earned a 95.7 run-blocking grade on 342 zone runs as a sophomore back in 2019. He can thrive in any scheme, but you really see his ability to shine on the move — 330-plus-pounders simply don’t move the way he does.  BYU’s Brady Christensen also deserves a shoutout here, as he graded out just behind Sewell with a 95.4 zone grade over the past two seasons.) (4-29-21):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-best-at-everything-superlatives

The 8 safest NFL Draft picks in 2021, from Trevor Lawrence to Najee Harris (Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon (Ranked No. 3 overall on SN's big board):  Pro Football Hall of Fame tackle Anthony Munoz is impressed with Sewell, and that is the highest praise possible at the position.  The 6-6, 325-pound tackle allowed just one sack in his junior season before opting out in 2020, but he is generally considered the best offensive lineman in this class. He played left tackle as a sophomore but also is capable of playing guard. He allowed just one sack in 1,376 college snaps with Oregon. Eight tackles have been selected with top-five picks since 2010. Five – Trent Williams (2010), Matt Kalil (2012), Eric Fisher (2013), Lane Johnson (2013) and Brandon Scherff (2015) -- have made the Pro Bowl. Sewell has the talent to join those other solid starting options at the next level.)

WELCOME TO THE 'BIG BOYS CLUB O-LINE DRAFT ACADEMY' (Penei Sewell:  Penei Sewell's improbable journey | The Big Boys Club - Penei Sewell's improbable journey to the NFL began on the floor of a one-room shack in American Samoa. Now days away from the NFL Draft, the award-winning Oregon offensive lineman tells Geoff Schwartz what will make him great at the next level.  Sewell, the Outland Trophy-winning offensive tackle from Oregon, is a unicorn. It’s hard to find another example of a player this outstanding and this young. He will play the first month of his rookie season at 20 years old! We’ve never seen a player this talented with this much upside at the position. Sewell has a rare blend of power, strength and balance, and he can still grow into his body. He’s only going to get stronger and refine his technique.  When you watch Sewell play, the first thing you notice is the explosion out of his stance. When the ball is snapped, he’s off. Sewell plays with violent intentions, always looking to move his man from point A to point B against his will. He studies his opponents and understands angles in the run game and out in space.  In pass protection, he’s still learning how to use his hands properly at times. That's just a matter of reps. But when his hands are on you, the rep is over. Sewell’s ability to recover is top-notch. Because his functional balance is the best in the draft, even when he's wrong, he makes it right with his ability to reset his hips and hands.  Beyond the film, Sewell possesses an inner drive to be successful, coming from his upbringing in American Samoa. Sewell and his siblings made the most of their lack of resources on the island, creating a football from whatever materials they could find around their one-bedroom house.  Sewell’s family moved to Utah when he was 12, and his football journey officially started then. He was a highly sought recruit and became the first true freshman offensive lineman to start the season opener in Oregon history. He has an extremely bright future in the NFL.)

TWENTYMAN: 5 prospects who make sense for Lions at 7 (2. Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon:  Sewell says he plays the game with violent intentions, which is great for an offensive tackle. He plays with a toughness and edge, but doesn't lose fundamentally sound play in the process. Sewell allowed just one sack over the last two seasons playing left tackle (over 1,300 snaps).  The Lions have one starting spot open at right tackle, which would make Sewell an ideal selection at No. 7, not only in terms of value, but need as well.  Drafting the best offensive tackle in this class at No. 7 would solidify Detroit's offensive line for years to come and make it one of their most talented and deep position groups. Detroit could potentially have one of the better offensive lines in the league with the addition of Sewell.)

NFL Rumors & Draft News: Penei Sewell’s ceiling, Dolphins’ plans at 18, and more (You have Sewell ranked in your top three on your big board. Do you put Sewell in the same class of talent as some of the other great offensive tackles like Joe Thomas, Trent Williams, and Tyron Smith?  I don’t think Sewell is as polished as the tackles you mentioned and as far as readiness. He also slips behind the Bryant McKinnie’s and Jake Long’s of the world. That said, I do believe he has as much upside as any of these tackles except Williams.) (4-23-21):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-rumors-draft-news-penei-sewells-ceiling-dolphins-plans-at-18-and-more/

OT PENEI SEWELL, OREGON (Stat: 95.8 PFF grade in 2019 — highest single-season mark by a Power Five OT since 2014):  Sewell produced this record mark after turning 19 years old in the middle of the season. That speaks volumes about the kind of talent we are talking about here. He looked like a man amongst boys on the field from the start. Sewell has one of the highest floors in the entire 2021 class, regardless of position.) (4-22-21):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-one-stat-to-know-pff-top-32-prospects

NFL player comparisons for the top 50 prospects in the 2021 draft class (4. Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon -- Trent Williams.  I’ve seen comps of Sewell to Johnathan Ogden, and I’m always reluctant to compare draft prospects to Hall of Fame talents unless the talent forces me to (such as when I had the unmitigated gall to compare Nebraska’s  Ndamukong Suh to Joe Greene). Sewell isn’t quite the malevolent finisher Ogden was, but he has a combination of athleticism and aggression that brings fellow Hall-of-Famer Orlando Pace to mind.  That said, with the aforementioned reluctance to compare any draft prospect to an NFL all-timer, I’ll say that Sewell’s movement skills and desire to physically embarrass defenders remind me a great deal of Trent Williams. Draft him, put him on the left outside of your offensive line, and check off one less thing to worry about for the next five years. — DF) (4-22-21):  https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-player-comparisons-trevor-lawrence-justin-fields-kyle-pitts-mac-jones/

2021 NFL Draft: 4 Potential High Picks That Could End Up As Busts (Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon:  We've seen Sewell at the top of 2021 mock drafts for more than a year. It makes sense if he truly is a generational talent at the left tackle position. You always draft a guy like that in the top five — whether you need a tackle or not. My concerns with him, as with others I've previously mentioned, start with the competition he faced in college. There's not a lot of film of him working against edge rushers who are or are projected to be impact players at the next level. Additionally, we're starting to hear whispers that he may need to slide inside to the guard position as his career progresses. In my opinion, you aren't burning a top-10 pick on a guy who you think might need to change positions sometime in the next 5-7 years. That's a huge red flag for me.)

Teven Jenkins, Oklahoma St - Stats line: A 2016 redshirt and part-time starter in 2017, took over to start 25 games in 2018-19 -- 22 at right tackle and three at left tackle. Honor to note: 2018 winner of the Barry Sanders Award for team's most contribution with least recognition. Opted out in 2020.  How he fits Lions: Size, starting experience at both tackles.)

6 draft prospects for the Lions who opted out of playing in 2020 (Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon - Sewell was a physically dominant presence as an 18-year-old freshman for the Ducks in 2018. To quote Sir Mix-A-Lot, he’s long and strong and bound to get the friction on with defenders. Sewell has excellent power and a surly streak that will keep defenders on their toes.  He was phenomenal in 2019 protecting first-round pick Justin Herbert and clearing wide holes in the run game. Much of what he accomplished in college came from being bigger/faster/stronger than the guys he was blocking, however. Sewell needs some technical polish, most notably his overextension on punches and tendency to let rushers get into his pads. Better NFL rushers will beat that more often than the limited cast he faced in college. He does carry some injury concerns that date back to high school as well that need to be investigated.  Sewell is a high-end prospect capable of starting at either left or right tackle, and that should hold extra appeal for the Lions. While Taylor Decker is firmly entrenched as one of the NFL’s better left tackles, the right tackle spot is ripe for an upgrade and a long-term solution.)

He can thrive in any scheme, but you really see his ability to shine on the move — 330-plus-pounders simply don’t move the way he does. BYU’s Brady Christensen also deserves a shoutout here, as he graded out just behind Sewell with a 95.4 zone grade over the past two seasons.)

2021 NFL Draft: Biggest pro and con for PFF’s top OL prospects (1. T PENEI SEWELL, OREGON - Biggest pro: Movement skills - I imagine that defenders’ lives flash before their eyes when Sewell is approaching them in space. He’s like a guided missile with the way he tracks down his opponents.  Sewell led the Power 5 in big-time blocks in 2019, and the 95.8 PFF grade he earned for his efforts — when he was an 18- and 19-year-old — still stands as the best we have ever seen in the PFF College era.  Biggest con: Untested - The Pac-12 isn’t particularly known as a breeding ground for elite pass-rushing talent, which means that Sewell faced up against many a dud over his college career. The best pass-rusher in the conference in 2019 was teammate Kayvon Thibodeaux, who is likely to be a very early pick in 2022, and only two other edge defenders outside of Thibodeaux produced a 75.0-plus pass-rush grade that season. For reference, the Big Ten, SEC and ACC each had 10 or more players earn a pass-rush grade above 75.0 in that 2019 campaign.  Sewell has an incredibly high floor as a draft prospect, but when you combine his relatively untested college career with the screen-heavy Oregon offense that limited his opportunities in true pass sets, you have an intriguing starting point for the debate about Sewell’s true ceiling.)

Indiana, Oregon, Tulsa pro days: Penei Sewell, Zaven Collins showcase rare size/athleticism combo (Penei Sewell
Oregon · OT (Ranking in Daniel Jeremiah's top 50: No. 12):  The Ducks' massive offensive tackle prospect, who tops Bucky Brooks' ranking at the position, was the biggest draw of UO's pro day for NFL scouts, particularly as a 2020 opt-out. Sewell measured 6-4 7/8 and 331 pounds, was timed unofficially at 5.09 in the 40-yard dash, and had jumps of 28 inches (vertical) and 9-1 (broad), with 30 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. His arm measured 33 1/4 inches, while his hand was 10 3/8 inches.  Sewell was responsible for just one sack over his final two seasons of play at Oregon (2018 and '19), spanning 1,376 snaps. As one of the most ballyhooed prospects in the 2021 class, the 20-year-old is widely projected to be a top-10 pick.  "Generational player. And I would say the same about him as a human being," Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said on Friday to NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti, who was on assignment in Eugene, Oregon. "The leadership, the power which he plays with, his football IQ ... His ability just to see things, his instincts is something that, again, can change an entire franchise.")

Oregon Pro Day 2021: Date, prospects, rumors, and more (Top Oregon prospects working out - Penei Sewell:  One of the top players at his position since he began playing at Oregon, offensive tackle Penei Sewell is a large human. Born in American Samoa, Sewell moved to Utah at 12 years old and played football at Desert Hills High School. The 6’6″ and 349-pound guard received offers from numerous blue-chip universities but chose to take his talents to Eugene to play for the Ducks.  Sewell became the Ducks’ starting left tackle from the moment he stepped foot on campus. He started every game he was healthy as a freshman in 2018, missing six due to injury. Despite his playing in six fewer bouts, Sewell earned freshman All-American honors and was voted an All-Conference honorable mention by the Pac-12 coaches.  Sewell’s transcendent jump
Trimming weight before the 2019 season, Sewell ascended to a new level. He did not allow a sack in 13 of 14 games all season. Additionally, he would not surrender a single pressure or hurry in nine contests. Thanks to his dominant play, the true sophomore won the Outland Trophy — awarded to the best interior lineman in college football.  With his draft stock at an all-time high, the 2021 Oregon prospect opted out of the uncertain 2020 season to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. According to Pro Football Network’s Chief Draft Analyst Tony Pauline:  “From the onset of his career, Sewell was projected as a potential early draft pick at the all-important left tackle position. He possesses the footwork, agility, and movement skills, to hold down the position at the next level, and he projects well in a zone-blocking scheme. He must improve his strength at the point and develop a nasty attitude, but Sewell comes with a large upside.”  Sewell excels in both pass and run protection, and his well-rounded skill set provides schematic superiority when it comes to draft fits. He’s graded as the third overall player on Pauline’s 2021 prospect rankings for a reason.  Given his consensus top-five ranking, PFN Draft Analyst Ian Cummings believes the Jets, Bengals, or Lions could bring in the Oregon prospect. Seeing Sewell for the first time since the 2019 season at Oregon’s 2021 Pro Day will be electric.) (4-2-21):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/?s=Penei+Sewell

Seven NFL draft prospects GMs say are worth trading up for, as 2021 draft looms large amid lower salary cap (Penei Sewell - The Oregon tackle is drawing legit comparisons to Jonathan Ogden. He is polished and powerful and looks every bit the part of a franchise anchor. Two GMs believe he will be a target in trade at third overall, even above the quarterbacks, and you can see why. The Falcons taking him would make all the sense in the world, but their QB need may push them in another direction. If you move up to three to land him, you probably make their decision for them.)

2021 NFL Draft OT Rankings (1. Penei Sewell (Comp: Trent Williams):  The last time we saw Penei Sewell, in 2019, he’d just become the first-ever offensive sophomore to win the Outland Trophy (nation’s top interior lineman) and only the third player in school history to be named a unanimous first-team All-American (joining LaMichael James and Marcus Mariota).   Sewell finished that season as the top-graded offensive lineman in Pro Football Focus history (95.5). He ranked No. 3 in the country in pass-block grading (91.1) and led the nation in run-blocking grade (95.3) and big-time blocks (13). The year before, Sewell proved, as a true freshman, to be one of the Pac-12’s best offensive lineman.   Sewell missed six games during that 2018 campaign with a high-ankle sprain, and he opted out in 2020, so we haven’t seen him on the field as often as almost every other recent top-10 overall offensive line prospect. But the tape we do have is definitive: Sewell is the best offensive lineman I’ve evaluated in the five years I’ve been doing this.  An athletic freak with an enormous frame -- Sewell has weighed 350 pounds in the past but is probably best suited at his current 325 pounds -- Sewell combines thunderous, elephantine hand pop with the light feet and short-area pounce of a tiger.  Sewell uncoils like an industrial-sized loaded spring off the snap, with tremendous force and accuracy. Elite quickness gives Sewell a head-start in every rep. On wide-zone runs he can hit the edge-rusher’s outside shoulder with a jolt and shuffle his feet to put his body between his man and the ball with unheard of haste.   Like a shortstop with incredible range, Sewell’s quicks allow him to win down and seal blocks that other tackles wouldn’t even attempt, lacking the explosion and footwork. Extremely mobile and agile in general, Sewell is a head-hunter in the second level that sends linebackers and defensive backs flying.  It is true that Sewell isn’t quite as good in the pass game as the run game at the moment. This is mostly semantical. Sewell dominated in that facet at Oregon, allowing just one sack over 1,375 career snaps. As a 19-year-old 2019, his only full campaign, Sewell didn’t allow a pressure, hurry or QB hit in nine of his 13 starts.  Sewell sets up quickly in pass-pro with a sturdy, wide base. He invites his man try to run around him, a dead-end, mouse-taking-the-cheese maneuver -- Sewell is too quick and agile, he’ll shuffle you around a clean semi-circle of the quarterback, or, if you try an inside counter, turn your momentum against you, a well-timed punch sending you crashing to earth or spinning out of orbit.  The power Sewell generates from his uncoil is unavailable to him in pass pro, and, though he throws mean hands, Sewell’s technique can suffer when he isn’t allowed to be the bully. Against bull-rushing power, there were instances of Sewell getting caught playing too high, losing his leverage and getting walked back.  Surprising to see Superman without his cape, and this was one of the few kryptonite-instances you see Sewell defanged in the wild. This isn’t a power issue, it’s a technique issue. Sewell doesn’t have an elite anchor, but his pass-pro play strength is more than adequate. Instead, he loses to power when power wins inside leverage early, the only time you see any panic in Sewell, losing his feet and pad-level while desperately trying to re-assert dominance.  Sewell is still a baby -- he won’t turn 21 until his rookie season. His 2019 season, one of the most dominant we’ve ever seen, came as a greenhorn 19-year-old. He’s one of the most explosive, agile 325-pound-plus offensive linemen that we’ve ever seen enter the NFL.  And football runs in his blood, with his uncles Isaac Sopoaga and Richard Brown having played in the NFL, and all three of his brothers currently playing FBS ball (Noah, a linebacker, was a teammate at Oregon, while Gabriel is a LB at Nevada and Nephi is a DB at Utah).  Penei Sewell is a top-five overall prospect in the class.)

2021 NFL Draft: Biggest weaknesses for top 10 prospects (Oregon OT Penei Sewell
(Biggest weakness: Overaggressive tendency):  As a 19-year-old sophomore in 2019, Sewell was demolishing upperclassmen on the edge like he was an NFL veteran. But -- though there aren't many occasions when this occurs -- the Oregon phenom can rely a little too much on his athletic gifts and wrecking ball type power. He can get out over his feet, which throws off any blocker's balance.  And it doesn't matter if it's when he's looking for a linebacker at the second level on a run play or dealing with a patient but speedy edge rusher. Sewell can typically recover in those situations, because he's an otherworldly athlete and is built like a stocky guard with long arms, but the overaggressive nature needs to be curtailed once he's in the NFL.)

2021 NFL Draft Position Review: Offensive Tackles (If you were to merge two classes together, Sewell would be the top prospect, and team sources say they have him graded higher than the four tackles who went in the top 13 last year.  Safest Pick: Penei Sewell, Oregon - This was a no-brainer pick because Sewell is hands down the best tackle prospect and a very safe pick to turn into a good pro. Sewell has excellent size alongside quickness, athleticism, and strength. His technique could stand to be refined, but that should happen with NFL coaching. Even with sitting out 2020 and losing a year of development, Sewell is one of the safer players in the 2021 NFL Draft.  Pass Protection - Sewell is the best pure pass protector in the 2021 NFL Draft. He is a good athlete with real quickness on the edge. Sewell pops out of his stance, gets his hands into the chest of defenders, and uses his quick feet to play the typewriter and cut off the edge from speed rushers. He has enough strength and quality hands to sustain blocks while being able to neutralize second efforts. His agility, footwork and quickness make him a smooth mover in space. With his good size and strong base, Sewell can hold his ground and stop bull rushes. There are parts of technique that he needs to improve, like keeping his weight from getting over his toes, but projecting this group to the NFL, Sewell will likely end up being the best pass protector of the bunch.  Run blocking - As a run blocker, Sewell is not overpowering where he bulls defenders off the ball, but he scraps with attitude and is effective. Sewell uses his size and strength to manipulate and turn defenders to tie them up and keep them from getting on tackles. He is dangerous firing to the second level, where he will get nasty with linebackers or defensive backs, overwhelming them with violence. It would help Sewell to continue to add more functional strength for battling NFL defensive linemen, but he could function in a power-man- or a zone-blocking scheme.  Feet - Sewell has quick feet and can pick them up and put them down in his backpedal or when firing out of his stance. Leatherwood is a good athlete with quick feet and the ability to kick slide with speed rushers. He is very good at defending the edge from fast pass rushers. Vera-Tucker shows nice footwork and balance, and he gets depth in his kick slide.  Zone-Blocking Scheme: Sewell, Vera-Tucker, Darrisaw, Leatherwood and Cosmi are the best fits because they are quick and mobile. Each one has shown the ability to block on the move.  Man Scheme:  The top four, Sewell, Mayfield, Slater and Vera-Tucker, are good fits for a man-blocking scheme. They sustain their blocks well in the ground game overall and are plus run blockers on the edge.) (3-14-21):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2021positionreviewOT.php 

2021 NFL Draft: Building the best offensive line from the 2021 draft class (EARLY-ROUND PASS-BLOCKING TACKLE: PENEI SEWELL, OREGON:  Duh. This is certainly not a knock on any of the other tackles who slated to go high in the draft, but Sewell is just a better prospect. The way he cancels out pass rushers and exposes their deficiencies is wild fun. He's a smooth athlete who made his mark at such a young age that you would assume there is still room to grow.  The complaint is always going to be the knock that he didn’t play any top pass rushers because the Pac-12 forgot how to recruit edge defenders, but Sewell made everyone who went up against him look like a high school player. You can play against only the competition in front of you, and he made it look easy.  Even as a true freshman in 2018, Sewell produced a 78.7 pass-blocking grade. In his first college football game as an 18-year-old, he posted an 81.4 pass-blocking grade.) (3-12-21):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-building-best-offensive-line-2021-draft-class

Top 9 offensive tackles in the 2021 NFL Draft (1. Penei Sewell, Oregon:  To no one’s surprise, Oregon star left tackle Penei Sewell is our top-ranked tackle. Not a single analyst had him outside of their top three prospects — and for good reason. Sewell is a star in the making who deserves to go in the top five picks this year.  There are many odd narratives about Sewell out there, about him being “raw” and other essentially false things. To all of the PFN analysts, Sewell was pretty special in terms of tools and age. He can improve a few things here and there with his technique, but for his age and what he did at basically 17 and 18 years old is insane.  His physical tools are rare, and his intelligence stands out on the field, despite his inexperience. We’re talking about a player with a Trent Williams-like ceiling.) (3-11-21):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-9-offensive-tackles-2021-nfl-draft/

2021 NFL Draft: Landing spots for PFF’s top 10 offensive line prospects (T PENEI SEWELL, OREGON: MIAMI DOLPHINS:  I’m still in the camp of Miami (and Cincinnati) drafting one of the blue-chip receiver prospects over Sewell, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if the Dolphins opted for Sewell. After all, Sewell is among the top tackle prospects of the century and projects as one of the safest picks in the draft.  Back in 2019, at just 19 years old, Sewell broke the record that still stands to this day for the highest single-season PFF grade by a Power Five tackle (95.8). He allowed just seven total pressures, none of which were sacks, in 14 games and racked up a higher rate of positively graded run blocks than anyone in the country.  It doesn’t matter which team drafts him; Sewell is going to be a standout performer at the next level.)

Lions offseason questions: Draft prospect to watch (Tim Twentyman: Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell:  I'm liking Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons the more I watch him, but for this question, I'm going with Sewell. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound tackle was dominant in 2018 and 2019, winning the Outland Trophy in 2019, and recording the highest grade ever given out to an offensive tackle by Pro Football Focus that season.  If the Lions can get the top tackle in the draft at No. 7, I think that's a huge win for new GM Brad Holmes. Not only is that terrific value at No. 7, but it would really solidify things upfront on Detroit's offensive line. That would be bookend tackles in Taylor Decker and Sewell under contract for at least the next four seasons, Pro Bowler Frank Ragnow at center, up and coming second-year guard Jonah Jackson and veteran Halapoulivaati Vaitai likely moving to the other guard spot.) (2-26-21):  https://www.detroitlions.com/news/lions-offseason-questions-draft-prospect-to-watch-sewell-lance-parsons

He moves like an undersized center but is listed at 6-foot-6 and 335 pounds, and he plays to every ounce of that weight in the power department. In space, say, on a screen, Sewell is a raging bull and often runs with ball carriers down the field.  Like Wirfs, Sewell would've measured in exquisitely then effortlessly rocked every workout. Despite opting out, Sewell has been a fixture in the top 10 of mock drafts, and no one would fault the Bengals for picking him at No. 5 overall. I'm sad we won't get to see Sewell blow the roof off Lucas Oil Stadium at the combine.)

And it pops on his tape play after play.  Sewell is rare in every sense of the word. It’s mind-blowing watching him move around the football field with such ease to know that he was listed as the heaviest tackle on this list. At 19 years old last season, Sewell tipped the scales at a hefty 330 pounds and put together the highest-graded season from a Power Five tackle in PFF college history. I think he might be good.)

Who could've guessed? Sewell is the obvious Wirfs 2021 contemporary given that, like Wirfs, he demonstrated ridiculous strength and athleticism at a very young age at the collegiate level.

PFF 2021 NFL Draft Guide: PFF's top OT prospect, plus a wild-card OT to watch (TOP PROSPECT: PENEI SEWELL, OREGON:  A consensus four-star recruit, Penei Sewell earned first-team all-league and all-state honors in his senior year at Utah’s Desert Hills in 2018. He drew more than 20 scholarship offers and took visits to Oregon, Alabama, Nevada, USC and Utah before committing to the Ducks in February 2018. Sewell was born in American Samoa but moved to Utah in 2012. His three brothers all play college football: Gabriel is a linebacker at Nevada, Nephi is a defensive back at Utah and Noah is a linebacker at Oregon. His uncles, Isaac Sopoaga and Richard Brown, also played football in the NFL. Football is in the man’s blood.  For most prospects, only a year and a half of starting experience would be a tad worrisome. But most guys aren't Penei Sewell. He is a different breed altogether. You'd never guess he was pushing the scales at 330 pounds as a 19-year-old in 2019 the way he tracked down defenders in space. He put together the highest-graded tackle season ever at the time and allowed only seven pressures all year. While the competition level wasn't great, no one came close to getting the better of him. He is the tackle you want.  NFL player comparison: N/A.  Biggest strength: Movement skills.  Biggest weakness: Untested.  Projection: Top-five pick.  Bottom line: While Sewell's ceiling is debatable, he is one of the highest-floor tackle prospects to come out in some time) (2-1-21):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-pff-top-offensive-tackle

2021 NFL Draft: Oregon's Penei Sewell set to lead yet another strong offensive tackle class (PENEI SEWELL, OREGON (JUNIOR):  There’s no debate — and there will never be one — about who is OT1. In terms of talent, it will always be Sewell. He’s truly a generational prospect at the position and has graded unlike any offensive tackle we’ve seen in our six years of grading college football. As a true sophomore last season, he was far and away the highest-graded offensive lineman in the country at 95.8 overall, earning a 91.1 pass-blocking grade and a 95.7 run-blocking grade. Sewell allowed all of seven pressures on 491 pass-blocking snaps last season, and he never allowed more than two in any single game.  I was taken aback when I saw that he was listed at 330 pounds because the first thing you notice when watching his game tape is how fluid of an athlete he is. Offensive tackles with his movement skills are usually struggling to scratch 300 pounds. Even with a loaded group of tackles in college football last season, Sewell had the most big-time blocks (PFF’s highest-graded blocks) in the country, with 13. At a position like offensive line, one that’s so physicality- and strength-driven, that’s not supposed to happen with a 19-year-old. And he’ll even play half of next season at 19 years of age, as he doesn’t even turn 20 until October. Sewell is truly a special tackle prospect.) (9-7-20):  https://www.pff.com/news/2021-nfl-draft-oregons-penei-sewell-set-to-lead-yet-another-strong-offensive-tackle-class

Penei Sewell is, in my eyes, the closest thing we’ve had to a generational talent in quite some time. When looking at tackles drafted in the top 10 over the past decade, the only one that compares is Jake Long who went first overall in the 2008 NFL Draft. Sewell is as consistent as they come, an absolute mauler in the run game, and pass pro savant. He has room to improve, like all players, but he’s my pick for the best player in the class.)

Players get tagged with the “generational” status far too often, but it without question applies to Sewell. He's the best tackle we have seen since PFF College's inception in 2014, and it isn't particularly close. Sewell earned grades above 91.0 as both a pass-blocker and a run-blocker in 2019, paving the way to a 95.8 PFF overall grade on the year.

Regardless of what is asked of him, he moves like a tight end. His explosiveness and agility are not remotely close to normal for a left tackle. Then, you check Sewell's size and see he's listed at 6-foot-6 and 331 pounds, and you're floored. With that much length and girth, the Oregon star -- who's not 20 until October, by the way -- controls with his arms and immense/effortless power at the point of attack.

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and LSU receiver Ja’Marr Chase are the only two players ranked higher.  Sewell is a fluid, strong left tackle who easily slides out in pass protections and shows a lot of ability blocking in motion. He’s fundamentally sound, strong and has upside.  If there is one red flag in Sewell’s game, it’s that he doesn’t block with a nasty attitude. Unlike many other top-rated offensive linemen, I don’t see Sewell working to bury opponents into the ground. Otherwise, he’s a sensational left tackle prospect for the next level.)(8-17-20):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/2020-pac-12-preseason-summer-scouting-preview/

Agility, explosiveness, power and technical proficiency — it’s all there. And the amazing thing is how he has displayed all of those skills at the highest level we’ve ever seen despite being only 19 years old last season. Sewell hasn’t allowed more than two pressures in any game over his college career. His 13 big-time blocks last year were also the most among all tackles in college football (highest graded blocks in our system).  His combination of consistency and dominance is truly generational.  2020 Outlook:  As I said, there is nothing Sewell needs to prove in 2020. He has voiced his support for the player-proposed Pac-12 reform this fall, and if it leads to him sitting out the entire season, there should be no ill effects toward his draft stock. In all likelihood, he's the first non-quarterback drafted next spring.) (8-4-20):  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-preseason-offensive-tackle-rankings

2021 NFL Draft: Who are the top Oregon Ducks prospects? (Penei Sewell, Offensive Tackle, Junior (6’6″, 331 pounds):  Not only is Oregon left tackle Penei Sewell the best offensive lineman that is eligible for the 2021 NFL Draft, but he might also just be the best overall prospect. With all due respect for Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, we have not seen a more dominant left tackle prospect enter the NFL ranks since Joe Thomas in 2007, which is why he is firmly in the running to be the best overall prospect in this draft class. Sewell was brilliant in 2019 and his outstanding play led him to being awarded with many accolades, including winning the Outland Trophy and being named to the Associated Press All-American first team.  Sewell possesses the ability to mirror the pass-rushers he faces by utilizing his strong hands, incredibly quick feet and astonishing lateral movement skills. His power and athleticism are elite in every sense of the word. In fact, Pro Football Network’s Matt Valdovinos agrees and uses that exact term to describe Sewell:  “A true generational prospect, Penei Sewell will likely be the best player I have ever evaluated. An elite pass protector and an elite run blocker, Sewell has the chance to become in and be one of the league’s elite as a rookie.”  For his size, Sewell is very athletic and is capable of moving like a tight end. The clip below will highlight Sewell’s athleticism and ability to maul defenders in the running game.  When the dust settles, Penei Sewell is the top 2021 Oregon Ducks NFL Draft prospect and will be no worse than a top-five selection. Frankly, we haven’t seen a left tackle this good in quite some time. There is little doubt, Sewell will be the first non-quarterback selected in 2021.)

Including Trevor Lawrence. Sewell is a dominant force on the line of scrimmage. His play strength is already elite by NFL standards, and his technique is nearly flawless. He may not be an elite athlete, but he possesses more then the requisite movement ability to make every block necessary. Sewell will likely be the only player to challenge Lawrence for the number one overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.  The 2021 offensive tackle class is just as strong as the 2020 class. It possesses an elite prospect in Sewell, along with other high upside players. The class as a whole lacks refinement, but the physical talents are undeniable.
