Snubbed?! Seahawks star Devon Witherspoon only 4th in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting

Another Seahawks rookie corner is unable to take home the DROY award.

Devon Witherspoon was clearly the best rookie cornerback in the NFL, but he wasn’t even in the top-3 in votes for AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. At the NFL Honors ceremony, Houston Texans edge rusher Will Anderson Jr took home the award. The Texans also have the Offensive Rookie of the Year in quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was nearly the unanimous vote if not for two nods for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua.

That leaves Devon Witherspoon in a surprise fourth-place finish, with a handful of first-place votes and a lot of third-place votes, but not enough cumulative points to move higher in the final tally. As a reminder: NFL AP voters moved to ranked-choice voting similar to the NBA. A first-place vote is worth 5 points, second-place is 3 points, and third-place is a single point. There are 50 total voters, which means only about half of the ballots even had any sort of vote for Witherspoon.
