Every draft season at Pride of Detroit, it’s tradition that the staff writers make a case for some of the top prospects in the NFL Draft and explain why the Detroit Lions should be interested in drafting them. Sometimes we write about prospects we believe in. Other times we write simply because it’s a player the Lions are likely considering selecting in the first round.
When the opportunity to write about Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon came up, it seemed only logical that I would seize the opportunity to write one more time about a prospect that I have gushed over for the last several months.
