Syracuse Football has had a long history of success. We look back at some of the best players to play at Syracuse University. Up next, No. 19: Joe “Doc” Alexander (J.A.)

Former Syracuse football great Joe Alexander is not a name most Orange fans have heard of. In fact, his name is one that you really have to go back in the history books for. Alexander played for Syracuse Football at center and guard from 1916-1920. During that stretch, there is not a whole lot of statistics about him, but he was one of only two players (legend Ernie Davis being the other) to be a consensus All-American multiple times.
