Penei Sewell: Same Interview, Three years apart
Vložit

- On May 1, 2021 we sat down with a just-drafted Penei Sewell to talk about his family, motivation and more.
Three years later, we sat down with Penei again right after he signed a contract extension making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL and had him reflect on and update his answers to those very same questions.

It all started with drafting Penei 🔥
His draft video is gold
Crazy he’s only 23

It all started with hiring Brad "Him" Holmes
FACTS
So happy to have Penei on our team an absolute cornerstone. Funny and Fierce
Whoever thought of this video’s theme/style I love it, Penei is a special person and this was a special way to interview him, very fitting 🤙🏽 One Pride!
I am so happy we have this dude. Straight up national treasure.
Penei is one of the cornerstones of this teams turn around and is easily one of the best players we've ever drafted. Future HOFER! Hope he stays with us his entire career.
It all began in the trenches with both Sewell and McNeil.
Penei “enough with the talk” Sewell ! So glad we paid him
his get back to business atittude is very contagious
Hey, Penei. Just in case you read these comments? I was born in Michigan but due to my dad's Army life, we moved a lot and ended up in Tennessee. After I got through a long bout of depression and had the mental energy to start rooting for the home team, about this time last year I jumped back on the football bandwagon, caught up with the Lions state of affairs, and all over the place I saw your big shining grin. This past year, you helped deliver a HUGE wave of optimism and joy to my native state, and I am so proud that a young talent as humble and wonderful as you is taking care of my people as much as they are of you.
Thank you for being a wonderful flagbearer for the Lions Pride, enjoy the good things that come back to you when you give it away, and I cannot wait to wear your new black jersey with pride.
You will never understand how much I feel you on this but stay up bro love you❤️ one pride
Our media team is so goated 🔥🔥
Sewell embodies what it means to be a lion
Lions media is the GOAT
This should be a lesson/reminder to everyone about how much people change: values, beliefs, and mentality. For better or for worse, it's important to live life in the moment, day by day, because you can see the past, not your future. You can always change your future, never your past.
We love Penei
Damn. Y'all really planned this thing out. Years in the making.
As much as old Lion's fans can, we love you Mr. Sewell.
A man amongst boys
A Lion, hell yeah!! 😃
I’m a ram fan but this dudes awesome, really wish you guys would’ve been able to take it all the way last year, hopefully this year is the big one
I hope so too but there’s a lot of tough teams out there getting better every year like you guys. These Lions have proven they can do it and with Brad and Dan addressing out secondary issues that held us back last year with Davis, Amik Arnold and Ennis we can do it 🤞🙏. Good luck to you guys as well especially with that nice draft class you got this year! Lions 🦁 Pride
@@jshah1961 I’m hoping our draft picks can partially compensate with the loss of AD99 because nobody can singlehandedly be him. With Goff being traded away, Lions are easily my second favorite team as it’s so nice to see him succeed with the right tools and an effective line. If he had that with us, they probably wouldn’t have traded him too🫡
grant, we're all Rams fans here. 😄
@@grantgrafgames5894 the respect probably all started with that penalty play in LA 3 years ago. When AD99 grabbed a face mask and 58 - a rookie - stood his ground and stood AD up.
You're the guy Penei, you're the guy. Cool dude
Seems like a great guy, gets my vote for best tackle in the league
Lion 4 Life 🙏
Class act….glad he’s a Lion
Lets Go Boys cant wait for the season
YES SIR ONE PRODE
all the love penei !!!
he is his own hype man
Thank you Sewell 💪🏽💙
Highest paid offensive linemen in the league, and we could’ve doubled it and I wouldn’t have been mad! Love this dude.
Well done putting this together. This was a unique experience and I appreciate it.
The foresights to do this pretty cool big ups to the media team.
Thank you big man!
Goosebumps on the what would you tell your future self…
This guy was born to be a Lion! 🦁 So glad to call this humble, hardworking and passionate person a Lion! Dude is the epitome of what it is to be a role model for those around him and follow him!
That is a fantastic piece. Penei is all in. You want character? There it is in man not afraid to look at himself and be humble. MCDC Madman Brad Holmes Sheila, well done most of the players are this high character. And it shows on…..and off, the field. One Pride.
That was awesome!
WE LOVE PENEI.
I will never forget his look of disappointment an sadness when we lost to the niners im sure he will be even more motivated to get that Lombardi nothing else matters
Penei wants the Big Boy!!!
This is so cool!!!! Keep up the good work admin !
I've never bought an offensive linemans jersey. Not only do I have my Sewell jersey, I cant stop buying all things Sewell. Cards, 8x10s, need a signed jersey
Love this guy
Amazing human being
Penei you know we love you, man. I'll be there in Canton when they immortalize you, big bro.
Bro I will never forget your Draft Day. Man you cried with your family sitting between your mom and dad ... I cried as well. You are an amazing player and you are exactly who I thought you would be 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is the content we need right here
This whole team is full of dudes, but this is THE DUDE.
I didn’t know Penei that well as a person, this gives me even more respect for him. Such a cool dude!
Amazing content 🔥
It's been an absolute pleasure to have you on this team, Sewell!!!
The first draft pick of the Ford-Hamp, Campbell and Holmes era. Nailed it. "You are the building block, man" - Coach Campbell to Penei on Draft night. All the best to everyone watching! Have a great summer!
Dudes only 23, I can’t imagine if I earned a bag like that at 23. Baddest dude in the NFL hands down. 💪🏻 🦁
My favorite lion. Everytime I think about Penei, I think about how on draft night I was so incredibly nervous that cinci was going to pick him and the relief I felt when they didn't. I dont remember who had the 6th pick but apparently they felt they didn't need his services and he was all ours. Love your play big fella and I call you the foundation of the team.
Brad, Dan, and Penei. The three pillars that restored the roar. I can’t believe he is 2 years younger than me, all-pro and future HOF, and I’m still on my moms health insurance. What a beast.
Can't forget Sheila, Spielman, Disner, Dorsey, Agnew, ALL the scouts, and even Roddy Wood!
As for players besides Penei.... Ra', Goff, & Alim were there in year 1.
@@LionsOnTheHunt313 you’re not wrong, but that’s the first pick that changed it all.
I’m incredibly proud that this is our team captain, that this is our leader, that Penei Sewell is the face of our NFL Detroit Lions. Incredibly, proud to be rep’d by this man. Thank you Penei.
Glad we got Sewell!
He will be one of the greatest Lions ever when we win a Superbowl
That..... was AWESOME!!! Penei is THAT DUDE on the OL! As always, great job Lions social 💯
Penei looking at his younger self like his little brother who he's proud of is great. So many people are embarrassed of their younger selves but Penei is just hyped on everything young Penei says.
Gold Jacket loading...
This guy is him!! Love you Penei, so glad your a Lion!
That is awesome! Would love to see one with Taylor Decker if possible.
Hell yeah. Big Deck repping them Butler Aviators. 😎
Hands down on the Mount Rushmore of dudes that have helped change our franchise and culture, these guys are making a legacy right before our eyes. P.s. Penei I need that madden gamertag. But I call the Lions.
Not even a Lions fan.. just stumbled on this. You have a great one here and you could tell how much the end of this video meant to him. Good to see quality people succeed in life. Congrats to all Lions fans. These are the players you've wanted for a long time.
That was a good watch! Just like Penei on the field! Dude is a stud!
The three year interview concept is brilliant
Wow. I cannot say enough how maginificant Penei Sewell is
It’s crazy how they put this together! Love it! Make Penei a Lion for life please 🙏🏿
Dude is absolute gem, so lucky to have him on our line
Detroit Lions media staff is so good, it's like they planned this out with the fist bump at the end for him to do this. lol Kudos!
i like the answer to "What do you and your brothers talk about?" was the same, and he laughed the exact same.
Penei reminds me of a young miggy. Hope he has just as long of a career too.
Penei!!! Lets go man!
love you penei, always a lion
Great player 💯
Absolutely love this video. Thank you.
My MISSION is to get a 58 jersey 😤 Can’t believe it’s been 3 years! Greatest comes fast for those who are doing good
I think past penei would be great friends with current penei. Imagine having 2 peneis on the offensive line
This was so smart, well done guys🙌🏽
This is a classic ❤
This is amazing
Why did the bit where he was talking to his future self make me emotional? I need to take my ass to bed.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Let’s go Lions
