If anyone was perusing social media on Wednesday, you probably saw the Seattle Seahawks post a highlight from minicamp involving first-round rookies Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. These two may have both starred in the Big Ten conference, but Ohio State and Illinois are in different divisions and thus never actually played each other while in college.
As ever, it’s June so you shouldn’t read too much into anything, but the highlight in question was JSN working out of the slot against Witherspoon. While Witherspoon has shined as an outside corner, he’s been getting in some slot reps in camp, so that’s something to keep an eye on when the preseason rolls around.
