Countdown to Kickoff: Nephi Sewell is Saints Player of Day 45​

With only 45 days to go until the Saints season kicks off, we are inching ever so closer to the star of the NFL season. This makes Nephi Sewell today’s New Orleans Saints Player of the Day. Let’s get to know him better:

• Name (Age): Nephi Sewell (25)
• Position: Linebacker
• Height, weight: 6-foot-0, 228 pounds
• Relative Athletic Score: 7.04
• 2024 salary cap hit: $985,000
• College: Utah
• Drafted: Undrafted in 2022 (New Orleans Saints)
• NFL experience: 3rd year

Football is a huge part of the Sewell family. Nephi has three brothers who play professional football. His brothers are Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions, Noah Sewell of the Chicago Bears, and Gabriel Sewell of the Houston Roughnecks. He also had two uncles who played in the NFL.

Sewell went undrafted in 2022 but signed with the Saints. Sewell played a key role on special teams and was a rotational piece on the Saints’ defense this past season. He carved out a role for himself last season defensively but suffered a torn ACL on Dec. 31 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He finished the season with nine tackles and 59 total snaps. Unfortunately, Sewell was placed on the PUP list on July 18 while recovering from that knee injury.
