Witherspoon Commends Tomlin’s Willingness To Be A “Father Figure” To Players In Pittsburgh

In a guest appearance on the Getcha Popcorn Ready with T.O. and Hatch podcast, Pittsburgh Steelers CB Ahkello Witherspoon spoke with former NFL WRs Terrell Owens and Matthew Hatchette about various topics on the near hour-long show. The group talked about Witherspoon’s time with the San Francisco 49ers, learning tricks of the trade for CB Richard Sherman, the best WRs he has had to cover, and also the passion and energy he plays with on the football field.

During the podcast, Witherspoon was asked by HOF WR Terrell Owens about his experience having Mike Tomlin as his head coach, of which Witherspoon responded with heaping praise on Tomlin and the impact he has had on him during his short time in Pittsburgh after getting traded from Seattle right before the start of the regular season in 2021.
