Plus, it doesn't hurt that the seven-year pro is coming off a career-high 14 pa ses defended in 2023."Witherspoon is best suited for a zone-heavy, Cover-3 scheme. He has extremely long arms to help him in pre s coverage, but he struggles with consistency when asked to provide coverage Tevin Coleman Jersey  in man-heavy schemes.The former Day 2 pick has experience playing on both sides of the formation and is coming off one of the best seasons of his career after allowing a 76.7 pa ser rating on 99 targets with the in 2023.The Giants seem content rolling  Jaquiski Tartt Jersey with Deonte Banks and a combination of Cor'Dale Flott and Nick McCloud on the outside, but Witherspoon would be a viable depth piece if needed.MORE GIANTS
