Ahkello Witherspoon News
Free-agent cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon signed an undisclosed deal with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, according to a source. Witherspoon is a big corner at 6-foot-2, 208 pounds, but he's been very productive in his career. In 13 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the last two years, he's recorded 31 solo tackles, four interceptions and 11 passes defensed. The 28-year-old was released last month after playing in just four games in 2022 due to a hamstring injury. He's expected to be ready to go for training camp this summer, though, and the veteran will compete for a depth role in the Rams' secondary.
The Pittsburgh Steelers informed veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon that he'll be released, according to a source. Witherspoon started seven games for the Steelers over the last two seasons. He appeared in only four games last year and missed the final nine games due to a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old defensive back finished the 2022 campaign with only 20 tackles, two pass breakups and an interception. The former third-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2017 played the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Niners before joining Pittsburgh. Witherspoon will now look for another job on the open market this offseason.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to a two-year deal. The 26-year-old spent the first four years of his career with the San Francisco 49ers before a trade sent him to Pittsburgh last year. He played in nine games for the Steelers in 2021 and compiled 15 total tackles and three interceptions. He's currently slated to be one of the team's nickelback options beside starting outside corners Justin Layne and Levi Wallace.
