He was 20 years old, hadn't played football in a year, and is going up against Khalil Mack, Danielle Hunter, and Nick Bosa in physical matchups. He will play for 4 years in the NFL before reaching the same age Andrew Whitworth was when he was drafted.
Pretty sure people even said that if you only look right at the time of the draft, Slater was a better player right then and there... Sewell just had by far the highest ceiling.
Wouldn't bet against him next year.
Yeah, people are still angry over the debates this offseason, and it's leading to some pretty bad takes. People are saying it's too soon to judge Carman (and rightfully so), but here we are stopping just short of calling Sewell a bust 5 games into his career, when he just turned 21.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
