Last night, the Pittsburgh Steelers flashed in their first action of the 2023 preseason, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-17. The offense had their share of fireworks as Alex Kozora recently highlighted in a film room, but the defense had a few notable standouts as well. One of those standouts was ILB Kwon Alexander, who signed with the team a couple of weeks ago.
Added as depth to the inside linebacker room, Alexander flashed that fast and physical play style he has become well-known for during his time in the league. When going back through the tape, I couldn’t help but think of Nelly’s single “Here Comes The Boom” from The Longest Yard.
