2021 NFL preseason Week 1 rookie grades: Justin Fields outshines Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance (Penei Sewell - Grade:  B.  Sewell got off to a rough start in his first action for the Lions on Friday night against the Bills, whiffing on a second-level run block and then allowing another talented rookie, Gregory Rousseau, to use his length to work his way to sack quarterback Jared Goff. Sewell settled down after that, though, proving himself a wall in pass protection as the game went on by stopping rushers in their tracks and adeptly picking up twists. Sewell's power in the run game was evident, as well, as he moved Earth (and any defenders in his way) to help his team convert two third-and-short plays. Patience is key for Sewell's development, as he did not play in 2020 (COVID-19 opt-out) and he's moving from left to right tackle. It's not an easy relocation -- attempting to create new muscle memory within the span of a few weeks -- especially when also transitioning from the college game.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2021-nfl-preseason-week-1-rookie-grades-justin-fields-outshines-trevor-lawrence-

Which first-year NFL head coaches are in the best position to succeed in 2021? (THE RIGHT TRACK - DAN CAMPBELL, DETROIT LIONS:  The Detroit Lions aren’t trying to compete this season. Their strategy has been obviously focused on a multi-year rebuild from the get-go, and nothing proved that more than their willingness to trade away long-time starting quarterback Matthew Stafford and take on board Jared Goff (and his contract) to secure additional first-round draft picks. The Lions may be vastly improved in certain areas, but the project is only half complete, which will limit how far they can go in Year 1.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-first-year-head-coaches-best-position-suceed-2021
