Follow usHe showed his speed at private workout
Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon impressed his team with a strong workout on Wednesday.
The 5-foot-11, 181-pound cornerback ran 40-yard dash times of 4.46 and 4.42 seconds at his private workout at Illinois, according to NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah.
Because of a hamstring injury, Witherspoon was unable to work out at all at the NFL Scouting Combine or Illinois’ pro day on March 10.
The two fastest 40 times in Indianapolis came from two players similarly sized to Witherspoon: Michigan’s DJ Turner II (4.26 seconds) and Maryland’s Jakorian Bennett (4.30).
