Devon Witherspoon Betting Favorite to Be Drafted by Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions are currently the betting favorites to land Illinois Fighting Illini defensive back Devon Witherspoon, according to many popular sportsbooks.
Following Jalen Carter visiting Detroit's Allen Park practice facility, two defensive backs have emerged as betting favorites. Oregon's Christian Gonzalez is a popular betting choice to join Aaron Glenn's defense.
Witherspoon, meanwhile, reflected on his time playing at Illinois and just how far he has come since he fist stepped foot on campus.
“I think about it from time to time for a while, from when I came in to where I’m at now, just how much growth that I’ve made and just the big jump that I’ve had and stuff like that,” Witherspoon said at his pro day workout. “I just smile and look back at it, because I’m glad I went through the things I did. Because it made me who I am today, and I just wouldn’t trade it for nothing.”
Witherspoon caught the attention of evaluators when he ran a 4.39 40-yard dash.
