Free Agent CB Ahkello Witherspoon’s Upcoming Visit Could Redefine Commanders’ Defensive Future
Ahkello Witherspoon, a seasoned cornerback freshly off free agency, is now stepping onto the Commanders’ turf for a visit this Thursday—at least, that’s the buzz Mike Garafolo from NFL Media is throwing out there. It’s funny how things come full circle, right? Back in 2017, the San Francisco 49ers plucked Witherspoon out in the third round when Adam Peters, now the Commanders’ GM, still held the reins as a personnel exec with the Niners. Now, these two are reconnecting on new ground. At 31, Witherspoon’s journey has been a rugged map: four seasons with San Francisco, a couple of years with Pittsburgh, then three with Los Angeles Rams. The latest chapter? The 2025 season, a rollercoaster marked by a promising start cut short by a shoulder injury. After bouncing back midseason, fate wasn’t quite done testing him—another injury landed him back on injured reserve, concluding his year with six games, eight tackles, a pick, and a pair of defended passes. Diving into his career stats, Witherspoon’s logged 96 games with 64 starts—solid numbers, including 243 tackles, 13 interceptions, and 60 passes defensed. There’s no doubt this visit carries some weight for both sides—what’s next for Ahkello and the Commanders? You’ll want to keep your eyes peeled.
