Jaire Alexander has always been a little weird. Usually, that’s meant in a good way; his quirky nature and fun personality has generally made for entertaining moments to go along with his excellent play on the football field.
Late last season, things took a less fun turn, however, when he anointed himself a captain and almost messed up the team’s decision on a coin toss against the Carolina Panthers. That situation earned him a one-game suspension from the team in a game that they desperately needed to win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
They did win that game and the season finale to send them into the postseason, where Alexander came up with a huge interception of Dak Prescott early in a blowout Wild Card win over the Dallas Cowboys.
