Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon has rapidly established himself as one of the best at his position in the NFL. He seems to do something every week to reinforce that belief.

Entering this week, Witherspoon had 20 tackles, an interception and seven passes defended. He has added another pass defended on Sunday.
