The NFL draft process has not been kind thus far to Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Widely regarded as one of the premium players in a loaded defensive back class, Witherspoon may be seeing his draft stock begin to slip.
Hampered by a nagging hamstring injury, Witherspoon could not participate in the NFL Combine. Instead, he watched from the sidelines as his running mates put on a show. Oregon corner Christian Gonzalez tested like a freak, surely cementing himself as the top player at the position for many teams. Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr. also enjoyed a strong showing at the combine, headlined by his incredible arm length that seem to hang to his knees, officially 34 inches.
