Seahawks Film Review: Devon Witherspoon’s NFC Defensive Player of the Week performance

The Seattle Seahawks top draft pick, Devon Witherspoon, had a slow start to his pro career. A contract dispute with the team and a hamstring injury forced him to miss most of training camp through Week 1 of the regular season. He had a strong wWeek 2 showing against the Detroit Lions and was more than solid against the Carolina Panthers. Then he broke out on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants. The former Illinois star tallied two sacks, two tackles for loss, three QB hits, seven tackles, and a pick-six for good measure.
