Sewell displays a world of strengths

It’s quite easy to see the loads of natural talent Sewell has. From a movement perspective, there is not much this guy can not do. He is so light on his feet but also springy and explosive in all his movements. Sewell has no problems hitting any depths in his pass sets and his work out in space is scary good.

The natural athleticism it takes to be that flawless in your movements and retain all that explosiveness is uncanny for a guy of his size. Not to mention the fact that Sewell does not look like a guy who weighs 330 pounds. He is definitely slapped together real nice. In space, you see his athletic ability truly shine.

He is able to reach the second and third levels of the defense with no problems. Get in his way here and he will run you over. Has plenty of clips on the film of him completely folding defenders with his finisher mentality.

Sewell is so quick to diagnose what is happening in front of him as well. He picks up twists/stunts at a high level and will catch oncoming defenders with no delay. Super aware and mirrors defenders real well. From a pass set perspective, Sewell’s upper and lower halves are always in sync. Redirection skills are top-notch and he has fantastic recovery speed if he ever needs it.
