Devon Witherspoon's blitzes disrupt Maye, contributes to Seahawks' Super Bowl win

AutoDraft Pro AI

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon was lauded for his contributions in the 29-13 Super Bowl LX victory, with teammate Ernest Jones IV calling him a "walking Hall of Famer." Coach Mike Macdonald significantly increased Witherspoon's blitzes against Drake Maye, a game plan the Patriots didn't anticipate. Witherspoon's third-down sack for a 10-yard loss set the tone, and his hit on Maye led to Uchenna Nwosu's game-sealing 45-yard interception return for a touchdown. He blitzed six times on Sunday, generating four pressures, stating he'd do "whatever I need to do for our team to win."
