The Eagles haven't used a first round pick on a cornerback in two decades. But, if the team elects to use their No. 10 pick on a corner, they have a shot at the top one in this class.
“I’m the best cornerback in the draft,” Devon Witherspoon said with confidence at the combine this week.
Because of how busy he’s been during this pre-draft process, Witherspoon has tried to focus on the work at hand and not reflecting on the journey. But he admitted it feels a little “unreal” to be in this position. In 12 games this past season, Witherspoon had 3 interceptions, 41 tackles and 14 pass breakups. He is considered the top corner in the draft by ProFootballFocus and NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah.
Gonzalez comes from a family of athletes. His father played semiprofessional basketball in Columbia and his sisters are track stars. His oldest sister Melissa, who happens to be married to NFL QB David Blough, is an Olympic hurdler. “I would say my family really motivated me,” Porter said. “Just really a legacy standpoint for me. My dad's been there before. He's done it. I want to do the same thing and just be better. That's the main thing. He always told me he wants me to be better than him, so that's what I'm gonna strive to do and that's why I'm here.”
