Notes: Spend draft day with the Sewells

Thanks to a nearly 20-minute video from GOAT Farm Media, you can see what it was like to be with Detroit's first-round pick Penei Sewell on Draft Day. In it, you get to see the new Lions tackle doing footwork drills with his brothers in Utah at his hometown high school, getting his hair cut, talking about growing up in Samoa, and preparing for the draft party with his parents.

Eleven minutes in, Sewell gets the call from Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell letting him know he’s going to be a member of the Detroit Lions. The video finishes out with a quiet talk from the rookie and his parents, and a positive message that great things are possible with hard work.

We all look forward to seeing that hard work translate to the pancaked wreckage of opponents on the turf in Penei Sewell’s wake.

• Go back to 4:49 in Episode 2 of Inside the Den for this:

• In case you were wondering, the Lions rookie minicamp roster has no jersey numbers on it. Only a few are known from other sources, and Justin Rogers from the Detroit News suggests everyone stay calm and wait for final numbers before ordering their custom jerseys:
