When Bear Alexander played at USC in 2023, he put up a little-noticed but eye-popping stat that got widely overlooked.
Nick and Andrew from "Saturday Morning Inspection" unearthed the fact that Alexander tallied a better pressure rate than two first-round NFL draft picks.
"The only season he got meaningful playing time was better than first round pick Tyleik Williams and better than first round pick Kenneth Grant. That is absolutely outstanding," Nick said.
Alexander posted a career-high 47 tackles and seven tackles for loss two seasons ago for the Trojans, but oddly, his playing time went down to almost nothing in September 2024, so he decided to redshirt and transfer.
