Philadelphia Eagles

On April 29, 2016, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Seumalo in the third round (79th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.[11] In 2017, Seumalo played in 14 games, however, he was benched as the starting left guard in favor of Stefan Wisniewski after a poor performance in a week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He won his first Super Bowl ring when the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII.[12]

In 2018, Seumalo entered the season as the backup left guard behind Stefen Wisniewski. He was named the starter in Week 5 and started the next nine games before being sidelined the final three weeks of the regular season with a pectoral injury.

On March 4, 2019, Seumalo signed a three-year contract extension with the Eagles through the 2022 season.[13]

On September 22, 2020, Seumalo was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.[14] He was activated on November 20, 2020.[15]

On September 28, 2021, Seumalo was placed on injured reserve after suffering a Lisfranc injury in Week 3.[16]

During the 2022 season, Seumalo helped the Eagles reach Super Bowl LVII but lost 38–35 to the Chiefs.[17]

Pittsburgh Steelers

On March 18, 2023, Seumalo signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.[18]
