Packers CB Jaire Alexander has been dominant so far this year.

Entering the season, expectations were sky-high for Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander. Now in his third year, the Packers needed Alexander to take the next step to becoming a star cornerback.

A quarter of the way through the season, Alexander has delivered.

Alexander’s numbers might not seem all that impressive, but there’s good reason for that. Quarterbacks are quickly learning that it’s not a great idea to throw his way.
