Ahkello Witherspoon retires from the NFL after nine seasons

Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon has announced his retirement from the NFL, as confirmed by the Washington Commanders, who placed him on the reserve/retired list. Witherspoon spent two seasons with the Steelers, recording four interceptions, including a standout three-interception year in 2021. He later played for the Los Angeles Rams from 2023 to 2025, adding five more interceptions to his career total of 13 over 96 games. This marks a notable period for former Steelers players, as several have recently retired, including Levi Wallace and Andrus Peat earlier this month.
