We know that the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon last week. We know that he is an outside corner, and he confirmed today that he played on both sides. We don’t know a lot more than that, right now. When asked if he received more work beyond the ‘look’ team (that is, the scout team), he deferred to the coaches.
Was he brought in to start, or to be in the nickel? Was he brought in as depth? Or simply to figure it all out as they go along? One thing we do know is that the Steelers are preparing him to be ready to play next week, whether he does or not.
