Alexander as Unique as Ant Climbing a Mountain

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Almost everything about Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander is unique.

He has a unique style. (Check out the glasses.)

He has a unique way with his words. (“You ever seen an ant climb up a mountain?”)

Alexander’s rise to NFL superstar is unique, too.

When Alexander was 3, his 8-month-old brother died from a birth defect called prune belly syndrome in which he was born without abdominal muscles. Growing up in Charlotte, Alexander didn’t always know where he’d call home on any particular day. At ACC Media Days in 2017, he said he sometimes lived with his grandmother or other relatives.
