Devon Witherspoon Impresses During Private Workout
2 years agoUniversity of Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon impressed NFL scouts during a private workout on Wednesday, running a 4.42-second 40-yard dash. The 5-foot-11, 181-pound defensive back is one of the best prospects in this year's draft. He was unable to work out at the NFL combine or during his school's Pro Day on March 10 due to a hamstring injury. Witherspoon's workout on Wednesday is likely to ease any concerns scouts may have had about taking him in the first round of the draft on April 27. He earned first-team All-American honors and was named the Big 10 Defensive Back of the Year in 2022. Witherspoon finished last season with 17 passes defensed, three interceptions and 41 tackles (2.5 for loss) in 2022.
