Green Bay’s secondary improved with the selection of former Louisville corner, Jaire Alexander. Essentially the Packers moved four spaces and obtained a 2019 first-round pick from the New Orleans Saints.
Alexander, the 5-foot-10 defensive back, will add grit and toughness to the Packers’ secondary unit. His speed and shiftiness will play a huge role in containing wide receivers at the next level.
He showed off his blazing speed at the combine, running the ninth-fastest overall time (4.38 seconds) in the 40-yard dash. In addition, he posses the skill-set to be effective on special teams, specifically as a punt returner.
