Opposite Personalities, Same Goal: Devon Witherspoon & Jaxon Smith-Njigba Set A Goal To Get Here On Day 1
SAN JOSE, Calif.—For Super Bowl Opening Night, Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams, Brady Russell, Julian Love, Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba stood backstage, listening to the event planner explain the timing of them being announced to the stage, where they would go, and what they would do once they got to the stage. Everyone stood attentive, listening to the directions they were given, nodding in understanding with a few "OKs" scattered in between. And then there was Witherspoon, boisterous and animated like always, telling the event planner he wanted to take the microphone to get the crowd that awaited them hype. This isn't out of the ordinary for Witherspoon, who can usually be heard from the third floor of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center as he's walking to meetings all the way on the first floor. Next to him stood Smith-Njigba, quiet, not really saying anything but smiling as he watched Witherspoon's interaction.

Witherspoon, Seahawks Win Super Bowl LX
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Former Illinois All-American Devon Witherspoon is a Super Bowl champion. Witherspoon served as a team captain and led the Seattle Seahawks to a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California.
Witherspoon was among the game's best players and the Seahawks' most impactful defender. His first-quarter sack set the tone and his fourth-quarter strip sack that was recovered for a touchdown added the exclamation point for one of the most dominant defensive performances in Super Bowl history.
Witherspoon is one of the best players in Illinois football history. He was the 21st Consensus All-American in Illinois history, the Illini's first Thorpe Award finalist, and the highest drafted defensive back in Illinois history when he went No. 5 overall to Seattle in 2023. Witherspoon allowed only 3.3 yards against per attempt during the 2022 season, according to ESPN, and went the entire season without allowing a touchdown pass in coverage. In December, he joined Dick Butkus as the only Illini in program history to earn Pro Bowl selections in each of their first three seasons in the NFL.
