After a promising start to his NFL career as a rookie in 2017, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, a former third-round pick out of Colorado, hit the proverbial wall in 2018. In fact, his Pro Football Focus ranking of 112 among cornerbacks was one of the worst in the league.
Granted, this was a team-wide problem, as PFF ranked the 49ers last in the NFL for secondary grades.
Witherspoon’s counting stats don’t make the season look any better, as he finished the year with zero interceptions and just four passes defended.
