Alexander eager to help Packers wideouts by lining up against them in practice

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander got some early evidence that second-year receivers Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson will make major strides this upcoming season.

Doubs beat Alexander for a catch on a red zone drill Tuesday during the first day of the Packers’ mandatory minicamp.

Watson raced past Alexander to catch a deep pass from new starting quarterback Jordan Love.

Neither of those scenes happened very often last season.

“Doubs caught a touchdown on me today, and I gave him a hug almost,” Alexander said.
