49ers 3rd round pick at a glance: Ahkello Witherspoon

Ahkello Witherspoon

Selected: Round 3, pick 66

College: Colorado

Position: Cornerback

Height/Weight: 6-foot-3, 200 pounds

Comment: Witherspoon got a late start at football and he is still learning how to play cornerback. His soccer background gives him a nice foundation when it comes to the footwork required at the position and he used that to his advantage last season at Colorado. Most intriguing to the 49ers — Witherspoon is tall, long-armed and still is growing.
