Micah Parsons Has High Praise for Lions OT Penei Sewell

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell was announced as the No. 37 ranked player on the 2026 NFL Top 100 list.

Micah Parsons, a pass rusher for the Green Bay Packers, has expressed high regard for Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell. The two players were part of the NFL Top 100 list released on Tuesday, with Sewell ranking No. 37 among active players. Parsons, who previously played for the Dallas Cowboys, compared Sewell to the Eagles' offensive tackle Lane Johnson.

The Lions' star player has been lauded for his strength and leverage, with Parsons noting Sewell's ability to challenge most opponents. Originally drafted by the Lions in 2021 as the No. 7 pick overall, Sewell has showcased his skills consistently, earning four straight Pro Bowl selections and three consecutive First Team All-Pro honors in his fifth season with the team.

The Lions kick off their 2026 season with a Week 1 game against the New Orleans Saints on September 13, followed by matchups against the Packers in Weeks 7 and 18.
