It’s been a hell of a roller-coaster ride for second year CB Ahkello Witherspoon.
In his rookie year, he was a stud. PFF rated him at 74.5, and named him Honorable Mention on their list of “2017 NFL rookie rankings through Week 17.” (Reuben Foster was #6 of 10, damn it.) He got his first NFL start on October 29th against the Philadelphia Eagles, who eventually won the Super Bowl that season, and had a pass breakup, an interception and three tackles.
The 6’3”, 198 lb cornerback has prototypical size and speed for his position in this Seattle-style Cover 3 scheme.
