“You won’t regret it” Now he’s a captain who we want as a franchise player damn right we didn’t regret it

[@AlisonPratt-vc3os]

He’s only 23…and he’s going to get better!! That’s the scary part.

[@mfkevinking]

And now he’s a franchise player. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

[@ericlin3867]

Came back after Penei's pay day to say Detroit LOVES you fam. You represent us in every way. Hustle. Grit. Determination. Discipline. Hard Working. You deserved every penny. Also, three years later and I can still confirm PENEI GOT THAT DAWG IN HIM!!!

[@JesseGMan7]

I wanted him for the Giants so bad. Should’ve traded up for him instead of traded down for Toney. Then we never would’ve drafted Neal too.

[@jasonh7637]

From This moment.....To the NFC championship, good Luck Penei. Beat those 49ers.

[@BratatoChip]

Aged like milk

[@podunkest]

​@@BratatoChipBitch please, he basically said 'Go Lions.' 'Beat those 49ers' is not some crazy prediction that didn't even come close. Penei went from 3-13-1 to a 3 point loss in the NFC championship game in THREE seasons. Dude is the best tackle in the NFL and is gonna be a menace for years to come.

[@shawnstinde7080]

This pick changed the entire culture of the Detroit Lions

[@ChrisSmith-kw4gn]

"The Detroit Lions did not regret it."

[@gwoody20]

Who woulda thought some kid from Samoa would be the guy to start the new chapter for the Lions. Congrats to Penei on becoming the highest paid offensive lineman in history.

[@ManifestMyFuturesDestiny]

"That's a cornerstone pick, Brad". "That's a cornerstone pick." - Dan Campbell.

[@drandrewwhite]

This hits different January 2024. Penei is a DAWG

[@TheJVG]

Everyone on that team loves Penei, every single player. Coaches too. Dude plays with so much intensity and passion, but you can see the fun he is having too! One of the core pieces to the Lions changing their entire culture into a winning one. Hope Penei sticks around until he is done playing football.

[@Charleybones]

Penei Sewell in 3 short years has become the most dominant OL player in the NFL. And he is only 22. At the end of next season he will become the highest paid OL in NFL history and he will deserve it. No one dominates the best D linemen like Penei. And he is just growing and getting better. Looking forward to seeing him play in the NFC Championship game tomorrow evening. No doubt he will play lights out. What a pick..

[@shooterman52jc59]

Hes good but wirfs is the better young tackle

[@Weeping_Somnambulist]

​@@shooterman52jc59lol thanks for the laugh bro. He literally graded out as the best OL in the league this year. In his 3rd season. That's a little better than "good".

[@TheTNTBrotherz]

You could hear Brad screaming in excitement over the phone 😂

[@RogueBlackOp]

It really felt like a family atmosphere on both sides.

[@user-yg5yw9dq6p]

Penei has by far surpassed all the expectations that pretty much any Lions fan had for him when he was drafted. Don’t get me wrong, we all knew he was going to be very good, but he is already the best Tackle, Right or Left, in the NFL. He is also an amazing leader and he does amazing things on the field that remind all of us how athletic and impactful an individual offensive lineman can be. Looking forward to the Lions signing this guy to a lifetime contract and Penei leading this team for the next ten years.

[@trollalong7950]

Three years later the Lions are one game away from the Superbowl!!!!!!! He's been such a huge part of this turnaround. He's become the top Offensive Lineman in the NFL!!!!

[@tombosley3048]

"You're the building block" Dan knew.. Go Lions!!!

[@joshlewis575]

As much as I love St and Hutchinson 58 is the face of the turn around. Dude is so good and such a great leader, and he just turned 23!

One of the GREATEST Detroit Lions of All Time and he is in his 3rd year. So pumped to have this guy!

[@Amon-RaSt.Detroit]

Yes Man and i am so pumped for near all Players that got drafted by Brad and Dan!!Look at Amon-Ra our Workhorse,Heart of the Offense!Or TransportaLaPorta this goodie Boyyy whith his amazing Talent!And Brian Branch this great Safety or Iffy who had his breakout last Season!And Jahmyr??He is so good,I could see him the whole Day running through the Defenses!Alim McNeill this Bulldozer,very good Pick!Josh Paschal and Brodric Martin will improve in the next Seasons and Jack Campbell will do it in the next Season!A little bit disappointing is maybe Levi Onwuzurike,because I have had so high Hopes on him!But maybe he will have his Breakout one Time!Think about Haason Reddick!!He was a clear Bust after the first 3 Years in Arizona but then in the 4th Year-BOOM!!He exploded and was a baller from this Time on!Maybe Levi become the next Haason Reddick??I hope so!There are always Players who needs Time to grow and improve!Okay there are always Busts in this League,too!But Levi isn`t one of this Busts,I know it!

[@hypedetroit]

This guy helped change the trajectory of the Lions franchise. Dude just turned 23, is already a captain of his team and arguably the best lineman in the NFL. Hope he stays healthy and anchors that line for a decade

[@BratatoChip]

Y’all made the right choice

[@mattsivits9834]

NFC championship game with him 3 years that’s all it took

[@Whitnuf1970]

First of all - “thank you Penie for you and your family”. Secondly, you are a building block the Lions did need. All of Michigan and Lions fans are lucky you are a Lions. Writing this two days before the NFC Championship, I figure your presence is a big part of why the Lions are here in 2023-24. Again very thankful #Grit

[@Gifthoarse]

Life long Lions fan here. It's one thing to have an anchor potential pro bowl wall/road grater on our line for years. It's another to have an outstanding human being with character and integrity. He has both in spades and I feel like we won the lottery with this kid.

[@XXBASSOON1STXX]

How often do you draft a first round talent and a first round personality all at once?

[@RX780a]

I hope the lions dont waste his talent because theres alot of teams who wish they could get a guy like that

[@jeremywolf7429]

@@RX780a best right tackle in football in 3 years id say the lions have utilized him well

[@jasontreece8974]

What speaks volumes to me is he is a sure fire 1st round pick and instead of going to the draft in Cleveland, he elected to stay at home with his family and friends to see where he was selected. When he is on the phone with Lions GM Brad Holmes, he tells Penei he wants him in their pride and he is a big part of what they (the Lions) are doing going forward. Very excited for the Lions future regardless of the outcome of tonight’s NFC Championship!

[@aleccampbell8650]

One of the best picks in Detroit lions history

[@mr.thomas6072]
