The New England Patriots are hosting Toledo defensive tackle Darius Alexander on a pre-draft visit, according to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Alexander was a dynamic defensive player for Toledo during his career. He recorded 48 solo tackles, 68 assisted tackles, 8.5 sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery.
He had a strong season last year in particular, recording 40 total tackles, 3.5 sacks and an interception returned for a touchdown. His impressive performance on defense earned him First-Team All-MAC honors on defense.
Per Melo, the Patriots are among 10-plus teams scheduled for a pre-draft visit with Alexander.
