Jaire Alexander: Joining Lamar Jackson in Baltimore easy call

Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander was surprised on the first day of training camp when Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw a back-shoulder pass against him.

"I said, 'Come on, man. I know it's my first day, but it's still me,'" Alexander said Thursday with a smile.

In his first public comments since signing with the Ravens in June, Alexander made it clear that the biggest reason why he joined Baltimore was to reunite with Jackson. They were teammates at Louisville from 2015 and 2017, and have been close friends since.
