More Slot Snaps for Jaire Alexander Under Joe Barry?

Since entering the NFL in 2018, Jaire Alexander has been an ascending player, and that culminated last season with a second-team All-Pro selection. When it was all said and done, Alexander allowed a completion rate of just 49 percent on 76 targets at only 9.5 yards per catch. He would also record with three interceptions and 14 pass breakups.

Right before our very eyes, Alexander has developed into a shutdown corner, now allowing more than 20 receiving yards in 11 out of a possible 17 games. And if grades are your thing, his coverage grade from PFF was the highest among all eligible cornerbacks.
