Louisville coach wants cornerbacks to play with same energy that Jaire Alexander brought

Jaire Alexander has what Louisville cornerbacks coach Steve Ellis calls a “certain spotlight” to him.

Dating back to his days at Louisville, Alexander, now a star with the Green Bay Packers, has never been short of personality and playmaking ability.

That translated to the NFL. He’s now the highest-paid cornerback in the league after a 2022 season that included 56 tackles and five interceptions, tied for fifth-most in the NFL, on 14 passes defended. His postgame interview last Christmas following the Packers’ win over the Miami Dolphins went viral and is one of many memorable off-the-field moments.
