Through months of building a rapport, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon is enjoying Mike Macdonald's coaching style.
Luckily, new head coach Mike Macdonald fits the bill. The young, defensive-minded coach has built a strong relationship with his players in the months since his hiring, and ahead of the season opener on Sunday, it appears his bond with Witherspoon is among the strongest of any player.
A cornerstone of that relationship is Macdonald involving Witherspoon in game planning, a process they hope pays off come game day. Witherspoon, the No. 5 overall pick in last year's draft, had a great rookie season with 79 total tackles, 16 passes defensed and an interception he returned 97 yards for a touchdown. The Illinois product finished fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, though many believe he should've won the award.
