Did you know?: Sewell has three brothers playing pro football: Penei Sewell (offensive tackle) was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions, Nephi Sewell (linebacker) is currently with the New Orleans Saints after going undrafted in 2022 and Gabriel Sewell Jr. (linebacker) plays for the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars.

Scouting report: “The former Duck’s report reads more like an edge-defender’s than it does a linebacker’s, as he’s strong against the run and has a few pass-rush moves he can win with. So, a position change could be in store for him at the next level. If he stays at linebacker, then he’d be best as a two-down Mike in a system that protects him in coverage or has him blitz frequently.” — Bleacher Report NFL scouting department.
