Witherspoon is the first Round 1 cornerback taken by Pete Carroll in his Seahawks career.
If there’s one play that stands out on Witherspoon’s highlight reel, it’s this one:
Witherspoon has a reputation for being an aggressive, downhill, physical player without being a penalty machine. In the post-draft media press conference, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll acknowledged that Seattle typically doesn’t take corners high in the draft, but he’s an exception. Carroll also compared Witherspoon to one of the great defensive backs in college and NFL history: USC and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Troy Polamalu."Devon Witherspoon is a rare player. Since the years we've been here we haven't seen a guy like this... Last guy I recognized a guy with this makeup was back at USC.. Troy Polamalu."
