The 28-year-old’s hands are a big reason behind his ball-hawking ability, and he got plenty of action with them as a wide receiver in high school. As a senior at Rocky River, Alexander caught 68 passes for 1,123 yards and 18 touchdowns while playing on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n

“Overall, the transition from receiver to corner has been pretty challenging sometimes,” Alexander said via the Courier Journal<\/a> back in 2016. “Being able to adapt to a new position was pretty cool. I just realized that I can use my speed to my advantage. I’m pretty fast and there aren’t a lot of people faster than me. Covering wideouts, I just had to become more patient.”<\/p>\n

During his time at Louisville, Alexander was also a dangerous punt returner. He returned 47 punts in his collegiate career and had a 69-yard return for a touchdown against Florida State in 2016, helping the Cardinals beat down the No. 2-ranked Seminoles, 63-20. He also had a 61-yard return in that game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 28-year-old’s hands are a big reason behind his ball-hawking ability, and he got plenty of action with…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":34979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[834,13880,10014,28930,10015,1232,10012,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-34978","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-general","9":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","10":"tag-inline-news","11":"tag-jaire-alexander","12":"tag-justin-robertson","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-offseason","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114788676820743557","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
