Whittaker is a 5-11, 189, Senior cornerback. He has missed 2 game in his career and has started the last 20 games at corner. Whittaker has led the team for the past 2 years in pass breakups with 12 in 2016 and 16 last year. He also had 46 tackles last year (2 for a loss) and 3 interceptions with 1 going for a TD against ucla. Do those numbers sound good? Well, pro football focus agrees with you. They rate Whittaker as the best returning player on our defense. Whittaker will start at corner and may even see his stats decrease as QBs avoid throwing in his direction. We may lack depth at cornerback, but when Whittaker and Burns are on the field it will be a strength of our defense.
17 is the Arizona record for consecutive games throwing a TD pass set by Nick Foles (OSU, 2010-all 12G in 2011). It is an easy record to forget since Foles is now be more famous for his 1 game streak of catching a TD pass.
