Late-Blooming Lorenzo Alexander: From Glue Guy to NFL Sack Leader

Lorenzo Alexander leads the NFL with nine sacks, despite the fact that the 10th-year Buffalo Bills pass-rusher had just nine total sacks during his first nine NFL seasons.

The 33-year-old is one of just two players in football with more than three sacks and 20-plus tackles (along with the legendary Von Miller), despite the fact he started just 16 games while being employed by five different teams during the first nine years of his career.

The 245-pound linebacker is one of only six players in football with at least three forced fumbles and has been graded by Pro Football Focus as the seventh-best 3-4 outside linebacker in the league, despite the fact he entered the NFL as a 315-pound, undrafted defensive tackle in 2005 and didn't play a regular-season snap for another two years.
