Lamar Jackson is hoping to reunite with one of his former college teammates, and the Baltimore Ravens quarterback is not exactly keeping that a secret.
Jackson and veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander played together at the University of Louisville for the same three years from 2015-2017. Alexander was recently cut by the Green Bay Packers and is a free agent.
During his media availability on Tuesday, Jackson was asked about the possibility of Baltimore signing Alexander. The two-time NFL MVP got incredibly excited and told Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta to "go get him!"
"Go get him, Eric! I love all our corners, don't get me wrong. But go get him, Eric!" Jackson said.
Jackson was then asked if he has spoken with Alexander since the two-time Pro Bowl defensive back was released. He admitted that he has been in touch with his former teammate but added that you "never know with Jaire."

Alexander has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL when healthy. He made the Pro Bowl in 2020 and 2022, but injuries have been a major issue for him in recent years. The 28-year-old has appeared in just seven games in each of the past two seasons.
There are several teams that could have interest in Alexander. He will likely be patient while weighing his options, but the thought of playing for an AFC contender with his former college teammate has to be appealing. The question is whether DeCosta and the Ravens would actually be interested in making it happen.
