NY Jets’ Kwon Alexander owns elite ranks in key LB categories

Kwon Alexander joined the New York Jets late in the 2022 offseason, agreeing to terms with the team on July 28. Once the former Pro Bowl linebacker finally did find a new home, he was signed to a surprisingly modest deal. New York signed him to a one-year pact worth $1,272,500.

Alexander is vastly outperforming that deal.

The 28-year-old Alexander has been a spark plug for the New York defense, providing jolts of energy with his penchant for big hits and his rangy athleticism. Each week, it feels like Alexander comes through with an invigorating play when the team needs it.
