Devon Witherspoon brings ‘Legion of Boom toughness’ to Seattle - Field Yates | 2023 NFL Draft

[@tytoocool]

Definitely a game changer for the Seahawks. Definitely feeling a vibe of the ‘ Legion Of Boom ‘ in this player. Can’t wait to see what Devon Witherspoon brings to the Emerald City.

Watched this guy at UIUC for a while... HUGE chip on his shoulder and Seattle, you guys got yourself a good one!

Seahawks drafted the best CB and Best WR in the class.

Yesssss😂❤ go hawks

[@joejay4646]

​@@tronmoneymaker8881 I'm not 100% sure what your point is but I think you're comparing apples to oranges. Those were 3rd and 4th round picks, no one was considering Brown or Eskridge to be the best at their position like Witherspoon and JSN are.

So excited let’s go HAWKSSS

[@EchoesDistant]

There were 4 CB's taken in the 1st round of this draft and the Seahawks got the seemingly consensus best one. Detroit ended up trading the 6th pick, and it's rumored that they wanted to pick Witherspoon but the Seahawks spoiled their plans. And here you see the guy just left of middle saying he wanted Witherspoon for the Raiders at 7th. Great move by the Seahawks to snag him first! Go Seahawks!

[@seanzibonanzi64]

Witherspoon's the type of player that makes everyone on defense hit harder just by him being on the field.

[@tronmoneymaker8881]

This is different football level dude

[@majuftwlechuga3616]

Wooooooooooo the legion of BOOM ITS BACK BABY!!!!!!!

[@Construct87]

DL is your biggest need, you spend the 5th pick of the draft on a corner (one of your deepest position groups) when Jalen Carter is there who was the consesus #1 player in the draft talent-wise. Then you decided to go BPA again at 20 (maybe because Kancey was gone) but by doing so, you leave round one with N. Smith, M. Smith, Bresee and Murphy gone which is really tough

[@nas8350]

This is why you trust in PCJS. They took into account positional value. Carter is having a great season don’t get me wrong, but when you take into account the snap count and statistical impact between Carter and Witherspoon it’s no question who is more impactful.

[@kamuelaforsythe72]

[@kevindillie8406]

This pick caught me by surprise 😂

[@bigwilly5265]

Seattle fan in Oregon: I thought Christian Gonzalez would be the pick if we went CB, so I admittedly didn’t watch the film on Witherspoon and I just about spit my drink out watching the first play. Culture is important to John and Pete and that was the biggest mystery before the draft. Not a mystery anymore

[@Daylyfe]

Stoked to see Devon Witherspoon and Mike Jackson compete for that starting CB spot

[@georgebrady5369]

Best corner in the draft but was corner our biggest need?

[@surplexshadow1470]

Mike Jackson was our other one

[@nas8350]

Didnt matter. We see now how impactful he is and when you take positional value into account spoon was obviously the right pick.

[@AnthonyEdwardsOwnsTheLakers]

6’0 is perfectly fine, A 6’0 corner can cover people like 6’5 and down, as long as they are a good corner they can do it

[@justinland1208]

He hits like he’s 6’5 250lbs and Seattle needed a real dawg on the field. But he’ll definitely be a cb 2 with Coby likely playing nickel.

5 overall is kinda high for him I think Gonzalez is superior and he went 17 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Michael-uu7zq]

I think there is somthing wrong with Gonzalez that we don’t know about but the teams do. He slid so far

[@nas8350]

Gonzalez was playing pretty good before he got inured but I think you can see now why we took spoon. They’re both absolutely lockdown in coverage. What separates spoon is his versatility. We’ve seen him like up in nickel and make plays in the run game, pressure the qb, bat down passes. We’ve seen him line up on the edge and get sacks. We’ve seen him on the outside. He makes plays everywhere and is pound for pound more dog than Gonzalez
