The Seattle Seahawks selected Illinois defensive back Devon Witherspoon with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Witherspoon will team up with Tariq Woolen to form a dynamic duo in Seattle's defensive backfield. The 22-year-old was the highest-graded corner and tremendous in press coverage, allowing just one yard during press coverage. In early April, Witherspoon ran 4.4-2 and a 4.46-second 40-yard dash times at a personal workout for NFL scouts. He racked up 159 tackles, 30 passes defended, five interceptions, and three fumble recoveries in the previous four seasons at Illinois. Witherspoon's presence should only help an improving Seahawks defense.--Brad Camara - RotoBallerRead More News
