How can Packers' Jaire Alexander elevate his game — and interception total? ‘Just catch the ball’

GREEN BAY — Sometimes, the best answers really are the simplest ones.

Jaire Alexander showed up for his Zoom video conference call with reporters earlier this week with some designer sunglasses that would’ve made Elton John proud. As good as the Green Bay Packers brash, ultra-confident cornerback looked in his dark-lensed, thick white-framed shades, he wasn’t especially expansive in his answers to the group’s questions.

That included a question about what Alexander must do during the 2020 NFL season to increase his interception numbers, which — despite him being considered one of the league’s top young cover men — are surprisingly low: He had merely one interception during his rookie season in 2018, and had just two last year.
