The departure of cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Rams left a gaping hole in their defense. This left many questioning about who could potentially step up and fill the void that Ramsey had left. Then, the CB Ahkello Witherspoon enters as the Rams’ CB1. Unexpectedly, he has been making headlines with his exceptional performances on the field this season, especially during this crucial contract year.

Not to mention, as per recent statistics, Witherspoon stands out first among his peers, leading the race with the lowest passer rating allowed this season at a staggering 19.7. This impressive statistic places him ahead of many stunning cornerbacks like Daron Bland, Martin Emerson, and Mike Hilton. Others who have been able to secure a position in the top 10 include DJ Turner (52.1), Stephon Gilmore (52.9), Troy Hill (55.5), Darious Williams (56.6), L’Jarius Sneed (60.3), and Paulson Adebo (62.6).

While the Rams may have lost Jalen Ramsey, Witherspoon’s performances suggest that they might have found a worthy successor for the throne. The player’s ability to deter quarterbacks from making successful passes speaks volumes. At the same time, the traded player Jalen Ramsey recently shared an update on his injury.
