Devon Witherspoon Earns Third Straight Pro Bowl as Seahawks Lead NFC West

He says the accolade takes a back seat to winning.

Overview

  • Witherspoon was selected to the Pro Bowl for a third consecutive season, becoming the first Seahawk since Russell Wilson to make it in each of his first three years and one of a small group of corners in the Super Bowl era to do so.
  • Seattle sits at 12-3 after an overtime win over the Rams, holding sole possession of the NFC West and a secured playoff berth with road games left against the Panthers and 49ers.
  • The Seahawks placed six players on the Pro Bowl roster, tying several teams for the most selections this year.
  • Injuries limited Witherspoon to 10 games, yet his return coincided with a sharper defense that ranks near the top of the league as coach Mike Macdonald lauds him as a catalytic presence.
  • Asked about the milestone in a video shared by reporter Gregg Bell, Witherspoon downplayed personal goals and said the team’s focus is winning.
