Professional career

Pre-draft

edit

On December 22, 2017, Alexander announced his decision to forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2018 NFL Draft. As a result of his decision, he chose not to play in the TaxSlayer Bowl.[7] He attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and completed all of the combine and positional drills. Among cornerbacks, Alexander finished third in the short shuttle, finished fifth in the three-cone drill, finished sixth in the 40-yard dash, and tied for fourth in the broad jump.[8] On March 29, 2018, Alexander participated at Louisville's pro day, but opted to stand on his combine numbers and only performed positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Alexander was projected to be a first round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the top cornerback prospect in the draft by NFL analyst Mike Mayock and was ranked the third best cornerback by DraftScout.com.[9][10]

The Green Bay Packers finished the 2019 NFL season first in the NFC North with a record of 13–3 and clinched a first-round bye. On January 12, 2020, Alexander started in the first playoff game of his career and recorded nine combined tackles (seven solo) and made one pass deflection as the Packers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 28–23 in the Divisional Round.

On September 26, 2021, Alexander collected a season–high five combined tackles (four solo), a season–high three pass deflections, and had his only interception of the season on a pass by Jimmy Garoppolo to tight end George Kittle during a 30–28 win at the San Francisco 49ers. The following week, he exited in the first quarter of a 27–17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers after injuring his shoulder. On October 9, 2021, the Green Bay Packers officially placed him on injured reserve with the hopes he could heal naturally and avoid undergoing surgery and missing the entire season.[45] On December 8, 2021, the Packers announced that Alexander would be designated to return to practice.[46] On December 29, 2021, he was officially removed from injured reserve and returned to the active roster. On January 2, 2022, the Green Bay Packers placed Alexander on the COVID-19/reserve list.[47] On January 7, 2022, he was activated off the COVID-19/reserve list, but would miss the last game of the season as he missed 13 games (Weeks 5–18).[48] He was limited to 13 combined tackles (nine solo), three pass deflections, and one interception in four games and four starts.

edit

On May 18, 2022, the Green Bay Packers signed Alexander to a four–year, $84 million contract extension that includes an initial signing bonus of $30 million and will keep him under contract throughout the 2026 NFL season.[50][51] He entered training camp slated as the No. 1 cornerback.

2023

He injured his shoulder and was sidelined for six consecutive games (Weeks 10–15). On December 24, 2023, Alexander, who was not designated as a team captain during their Week 16 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, participated in the coin toss, called the toss, and incorrectly told the referee he elected for the Packers to be on defense, potentially forcing Green Bay to kick off.[57] A captain may only select to receive or kick, which goal to defend, or, in the absence of a choice, defer to choose in the second half.[58] The Green Bay Packers suspended him for conduct detrimental to the team and missed their Week 17 win at the Minnesota Vikings.[59] He finished the season with only 27 combined tackles (23 solo) and five pass deflections in seven games and seven starts.

J. Brown during a 29–34 loss. On September 22, 2024, he collected a season-high five combined tackles (four solo), broke up a pass, and returned an interception thrown by Will Levis to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins 34–yards for his first career touchdown during the first quarter of a 30–14 win at the Tennessee Titans. He injured his quadriceps and missed two games (Weeks 4–5). In Week 8, he made one solo tackle and two pass deflections before exiting a 30–27 win at the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a knee injury in the closing minutes of the game. It was revealed that Alexander had injured his posterior cruciate ligament and he subsequently missed a Week 9 loss to the Detroit Lions. He would go on to play 10 snaps in their Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears but exited and would not return for the rest of the game. After practicing on and off for a month and a half, head coach Matt LaFleur said that Alexander had swelling in his knee and he subsequently missed the last seven consecutive games of the season (Weeks 11–18). On January 1, 2025, it was announced that Alexander had undergone an arthroscopic surgery on his knee, likely ending his season.[61] On January 4, 2025, the Green Bay Packers officially placed him on injured reserve.[62] He finished the 2024 NFL season with only 16 combined tackles (15 solo), seven pass deflections, two interceptions, a fumble recovery, and a touchdown in seven games and seven starts.
