"Witherspoon has the size and length that defensive coordinator Daronte Jones is looking for in his boundary corner options. Two of the three projected starters currently - 2024 second-round pick Mike Sainristil and free-agent signing Amik Robertson - are undersized."
"When Witherspoon is firing on all cylinders, there is a lot to like. He's given up 55.3 percent of targets throughout his career, thanks to his wide wingspan and anticipation."
"Simply put, he cannot seem to stay healthy. Every time he begins to generate any semblance of positive momentum, another complication surfaces."
"Witherspoon's big move to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2021 was ruined by health problems. Things looked a little better during his first two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, but the same complications surfaced once again."
The Washington Commanders have made significant moves in free agency, signing 13 new players. General manager Adam Peters continues to seek improvements, particularly in key positions ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon is being considered for a visit, as he fits the physical profile desired by defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. However, Witherspoon's career has been marred by injuries, raising concerns about his ability to contribute consistently despite his potential.
