Oh, God, Terrell Buckley Loves Jaire Alexander

Cornerback Terrell Buckley played a long time in the NFL. He played 14 years, to be exact. Of course, he only played three years with the Green Bay Packers after being a first-round pick, who held out, when you could still do that.

Perhaps the Packers’ biggest mistake with Buckley wasn’t drafting him, but assuming he could play outside. Ron Wolf famously established the rule that we won’t draft a corner who is shorter than 5’11”, which Buckley was at 5’10”. However, the reason Buckley played so long is because everyone other than the Packers played him in the slot.
