1-Devon Witherspoon

Devon is fluid, aggressive, rangy, energetic, and plays with an attitude, what more could you want?

Devon is listed as 6’1 180 lbs, and while he may need to add a few pounds, it should not come to the detriment of his ability to cover vertical routes.

He plays the ball and the QB with his eyes and is always reading and diagnosing the play.

His off-coverage play is elite and looks to be the best in this class.

Witherspoon is also a big tackler, and at times too aggressive. Regardless, he is one of the best corners vs the run. He hits like a safety.

Subtle is not a word I would use to describe him, he chooses violence in every play.

It was a toss-up between Devon and my #2 ranked CB, Christian Gonzalez.

Devon has swagger, confidence, and the attitude I love to see from the position, so I chose Witherspoon.
