GREEN BAY, Wis. – The man they call Ja-Money broke up a pass, then celebrated in the only logical fashion.
Late in the Green Bay Packers’ minicamp practice on Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers and the No. 1 offense was driving on the starting defense. On a fourth-and-5 from the defense’s 40, Rodgers went deep to receiver Christian Watson. Jaire Alexander ran stride-for-stride with the promising rookie, jumped toward the roof of the Don Hutson Center and broke up the pass.
Alexander bounced onto his feet and used the make-it-rain hand gesture.
“The day before, they did that same route and the receiver [Juwann Winfree] caught it on me and scored in practice,” Alexander said.
