For those saying that Witherspoon is "only" a nickel, in today's NFL the nickelback will often times be covering the primary target on any down and takes a different skill set than just being on the outside right? If Witherspoon is able to master that position as well as lining up outside, then that versatility is HUGE, especially if we want to sprinkle in some CB blitz packages.

Nickels need to be physical and Witherspoon is that.

football IQ is also more important than many other positions I would imagine, which Witherspoon has been said to have.

Witherspoon is like a Maxwell in his physicality but with better skill to cover. He likes to be very physical through out a rout and i think he will be called for it a few times. He wont get the Gardner treatment where they let him get away with mugging the WR's.
