GREEN BAY — Jaire Alexander might be the star of the Green Bay Packers’ secondary, but the Pro Bowl cornerback probably won’t be the “Star” of new defensive coordinator Joe Barry’s scheme.
As good as a cover man as Alexander might be — and make no mistake, the 2018 first-round pick enters his fourth NFL season as one of the league’s best — it seems highly unlikely that Barry would move Alexander inside to the slot, the spot Barry calls the “Star” position. It’s called that because the defense highlights that position as a primary playmaking location, one that soon-to-be Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson manned under Dom Capers from 2009 through 2012.
