A four-year impact player within the roof of the defense, Witherspoon has taken his game to a new level in 2022. For a positional group that includes Jartavius Martin and Sydney Brown—who we’ll get to later—it’s been Witherspoon who has drawn the majority of the spotlight due to his eye-popping physicality in the run game and smooth ability in coverage no matter the opponent.
Aligned primarily on the left side of the field, it’s been a tall task for quarterbacks when attempting to target his side. His 395 coverage snaps have seen the Pensacola, FL native allow just 21 receptions on 61 targets and zero touchdowns. He’s been nothing short of spectacular.
What’s most translatable is his ability in man, where he’s been as stingy in allowing receptions as any corner in the nation. In 280 man-coverage snaps, he’s allowed just 11 receptions for 93 yards, has seven pass breakups, and has seemingly improved each and every week he is granted an opportunity to compete.
It hasn’t been easy for Witherspoon over the last tandem of ball games, however, as both Purdue and Michigan weren’t shy in targeting his side. Facing 14 targets over the last two weeks has yielded seven catches for just 62 yards. For scouts in search of a battle-tested corner who may go as high as day one, succeeding under the fire as he did this past Saturday in the Big House showcases a corner that checks all the boxes.
Now it’s about remaining consistent and continuing to improve on a game that has earned him an invite down to the Senior Bowl—a neutral platform that will allow his game to enter a newfound stratosphere if all goes well. Devon Witherspoon has just begun to scratch the surface of the elite perimeter stalwart he could become in due time.
