With NFL scouts watching intently, five former Buffaloes defenders will attempt to up their draft stock during Saturday’s 92nd edition of the East-West Shrine Game from St. Petersburg, Florida. Here’s a look at the Buffs playing for the West squad and where they are projected to be taken in April’s NFL Draft.
Ahkello Witherspoon, Cornerback
A transfer from Sacramento City College, Witherspoon started 21 games at cornerback for the Buffs over the last 3 seasons. During his senior campaign, Witherspoon, along with teammate Tedric Thompson, led the nation with 23 passes defended. His lone interception in 2016 helped seal a 41-38 win at Oregon.
