Could Kwon Alexander fit the needs at linebacker for the Rams?
Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesKwon Alexander’s NFL career hasn’t gone as he had hoped when he entered the league as a fourth rounder out of LSU in 2015. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been successful in many ways.
Alexander was a Week 1 starter as a rookie on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, high praise coming from head coach Lovie Smith, who previously had Brian Urlacher as his middle linebacker for all nine seasons with the Chicago Bears. Alexander recorded 93 tackles, there sacks, nine batted passes, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions in his first 12 games, but was then suspended for violating the league’s policy on PEDs.
He has not received any league discipline since.
