In the last game, the 22-year-old Witherspoon excelled in the Seahawks’ 20-10 victory over the Cardinals, contributing with four tackles, a pass breakup, and almost recording an interception and sack, both of which were nullified by penalties. So, Jamal Adams commended the rookie Devon Witherspoon’s growth, reflecting on his own challenging start in the league.

Seahawks safety Jamal Adams commented on his teammate, saying, “I was [an] ass as a rookie, he [Witherspoon] definitely isn’t” As reported by Kleiman, post-game, Adams, a seasoned safety, humbly admitted that he wasn’t at the same level in his rookie year. The 28-year-old Adams added, “He’s very smart. He’s coachable. He listens. It’s a rare find, man.”
