Fits the wink martindale cb profile at 6’2” and 33” arms. Wouldnt be shocked if we took a look.

I think he played opposite Awuzie at Colorado

The #Steelers have informed veteran CB Ahkello Witherspoon that he’ll be released, source says. He started 7 games over the last two seasons.

Came out of nowhere

in 2021 - was their best CB for half a season.

2022 he went back to what he was - and PIT signed Patrick Peterson + drafted Joey Porter Jr

Sounds like a Wink type of guy.

Really good RAS score. 6'2" and about 200. Not the fasted 40. Maybe a guy that can have CB/S flexibility? I'm just thinking out loud.

Witherspoon

was always a bit of a boom/bust kinda CB, lacked consistency.

Good depth CB but eventually phased out as a starter in SF.

Sy gave him an 80 in his 2017 preview

Liked him a lot. Has all the tools but needed good coaching. Is it too late?

Interesting Fabian Moreau was also an 80.
