He’s got blitz pick up stuff. He’s got all kinds of things that he has to do. I’m telling you it’s not hard for him. It’s easy for him to learn the stuff.

"Outside, you are kind of on an island. You get the bigger type of receivers. In the slot, you get the shiftier guys and get to be in the run fit a little bit more. In the league, they move their top guys to the slot as well. You get a lot of good reps at both," Witherspoon said. "It’s part of my game that people should realize that I bring to the table," Witherspoon said. "I’m kind of undersized but I just don’t want people to underestimate me thinking ‘Oh he's not that big so he won't hit you.’ That’s a lie.
