Packers CB Jaire Alexander performs an elegant poem for opposing NFL QBs

Jaire Alexander missed much of the 2021 season with an injury so it's easy to forget just how good he's quickly become for the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers drafted Alexander with the 18th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and he's quickly become a Pro Bowl-caliber cornerback. He doesn't get many interceptions, but anyone who knows anything about football would tell you that on the eye test alone he's one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.

Alexander is the definition of shut down. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2020 and was on his way to perhaps even an All-Pro season in 2021 before his ill-time injury.

Alexander is now fully healthy and expected to be a huge part of what could end up being an elite Green Bay defense in 2022.

His message for opposing quarterbacks this year?

If Alexander plays at his pre-injury form and the Packers get repeat performances from Rasul Douglas (five interceptions including two taken back for a touchdown) and 2021's first-round cornerback pick Eric Stokes....Green Bay could easily have the best secondary in the NFL.
