Josh Sewell (born July 26, 1981) is a former American football center and an interior offensive lineman.
Sewell was part of a Lincoln Southeast High School football team that took consecutive state titles in 1997 and 1998, playing both defense (nose tackle) and offense (offensive guard), while earning all-city and all-state honors to accompany his Class A heavyweight powerlifting championship.
After being selected in the 6th round, 190th overall, by the Denver Broncos in the 2004 NFL draft,[1] Sewell was released on September 5, 2004, and re-signed to the practice squad, the following day.
He inexplicably retired during mini-camp in 2005, and did not resurface, until his selection in the 10th round of the 2007 NFL Europa Free Agent Draft by the Frankfurt Galaxy, then coached by Mike Jones.
In the inaugural All American Football League Draft in 2008, Team Alabama, led by head coach Jones, selected Sewell with their first pick, the 6th overall in the first round.
