ESPN NFL on Devon Witherspoon
From the article
Witherspoon's skill set was on full display in the Super Bowl, generating a career-high four pressures on six pass rushes with one sack and a forced pick-six to Uchenna Nwosu.
STACKED’s take
Ranked 4th; Pro Bowler in all three seasons; Super Bowl pick-six and four pressures.
Witherspoon ranks fourth in the 2026 cornerback rankings at age 25, jumping from No. 10 last year after breaking a logjam from spots 4-7 with a series of top-three votes late in the process. The 5-foot-10 corner is the fourth player in Seahawks history to be named a Pro Bowler in each of his first three seasons and can make game-changing plays wherever he lines up. An NFL coordinator praised him as 'Outstanding in the slot, can play on the perimeter, violent, physical and impacts games [in ways] that don't show up in [the] stat sheet,' and noted he's 'so twitched up as an athlete.' In the Super Bowl, Witherspoon generated a career-high four pressures on six pass rushes with one sack and a forced pick-six to Uchenna Nwosu, while allowing two receptions for 16 yards on 47 coverage snaps. Nearly 60% of his regular-season coverage snaps came in zone; he still lined up as outside corner on 399 of 691 regular-season snaps.
