The Minnesota Vikings selected Mackensie Alexander in the 2nd Round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He remained with the team for the duration of his rookie contract before trekking to the Cincinnati Bengals at this time last year.
Alexander was afforded 61% of all defensive snaps in Ohio – the most playing time the 27-year-old has received in his career to date. With the Vikings, Alexander played about 40% of all defensive snaps.
He was a decent performer in Cincinnati, tabulating a 60.4 Pro Football Focus grade and a wonderful 82.3 passer-rating-against in 2020.
