Perhaps this change of defensive scheme is just what the doctor ordered for Jaire Alexander.
The Green Bay Packers’ star cornerback went through a tumultuous 2023 season, dealing with multiple injuries and playing in just seven regular season games. He also earned a one-game suspension for his antics in Carolina, when he named himself a game captain and called the coin toss, nearly costing the Packers a possession of the football.
But Alexander appears to be in a much better place with the Packers after working through that suspension, as he fought through his injuries to play in both playoff games — and largely play well, for that matter.
