Report: Lions Sign 1st Round Pick Penei Sewell The NFL Network is reporting that the Detroit Lions have signed their top draft choice, offensive lineman Penei Sewell (pictured, #58 with Oregon teammate Justin Herbert) to a fully guaranteed 4-year, $24 million contract (also has a fifth-year team option). Sewell was taken with the 7th overall selection in the recent NFL Draft. He did not play in 2020 for the University of Oregon because of concerns over COVID-19. And he actually missed the recent rookie camp due to contracting COVID-19. He now joins Taylor Decker, Frank Ragnow, Jonah Jackson, and others on an improving offensive line.
