The young cornerback posted an incredible grade of 94.6, the highest among all cornerbacks in the league this season. His impressive performance didn't go unnoticed, as he allowed just 54.7% of passes thrown his way to be completed, with a passer rating against of just 58.5. These numbers are nothing short of remarkable for a rookie cornerback. But Witherspoon wasn't the only corner to have an impressive season. Other top performers include the Kansas City Chiefs' Trent McDuffie (92.1), the Los Angeles Rams' Cobie Durant (91.9), and the Seattle Seahawks' Tariq Woolen (91.5). These players all had excellent seasons, but none were able to match Witherspoon's incredible level of performance. The 2025 NFL season may be in the books, but the accolades are far from over for Devon Witherspoon. He's sure to be one of the top cornerbacks to watch heading into the 2026 season, and his impressive play has earned him a spot among the all-time greats at the position.#Seattle_Seahawks #Chicago_Bears #Kansas_City_Chiefs #Los_Angeles_Rams #Devon_Witherspoon #Tariq_Woolen #Pro_Football_Focus #Trent_McDuffie #Cobie_Durant
Highest-graded cornerbacks from the 2025 NFL season: Devon Witherspoon takes the No. 1 spot As the dust settles on the just-concluded 2025 NFL regular season, we're taking a closer look at the top performers in various positions. Today's focus is on the highest-graded cornerbacks, and it's no surprise that Chicago Bears' Devon Witherspoon has taken the top spot. Witherspoon's impressive campaign saw him earn an outstanding Pro Football Focus (PFF) grade of 92.4, a staggering 5.1 points higher than his nearest competitor, Miami Dolphins' Xavien Howard. The former Cal Golden Bear's incredible season was marked by his ability to shut down opposing receivers and make game-changing plays. The 2022 first-round pick's impressive metrics include allowing just 45 receptions on 87 targets, good for a 51.7% completion percentage. Furthermore, Witherspoon recorded an astonishing 17 passes defended, which placed him among the top five cornerbacks in this category. Rounding out the top three are Minnesota Vikings' Patrick Peterson and Seattle Seahawks' Tariq Woolen, both of whom earned grades above 88.0. Peterson's steady veteran presence was a stabilizing force for the Vikings' secondary, while Woolen's explosive athleticism made him a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks to deal with. Interestingly, it's worth noting that three of the top four cornerbacks on this list are under the age of 25, indicating that the future of the position is bright and in capable hands.
