Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon did not work out at the NFL Scouting Combine or the regularly scheduled Fighting Illini pro day in March due to a hamstring injury. The likely top-25 pick in the 2023 NFL draft was well enough to participate in a scheduled private pro day workout on April 5th.
Witherspoon showed no ill impact from the injury. He clocked in the low 4.4 range in the 40-yard dash at his workout. Several teams had defensive back coaches in attendance for Witherspoon’s impressive athletic display.
