Adonis Alexander wanted teams to know one thing leading up to the supplemental draft: He had learned his lesson in college.
The Redskins sufficiently believed him, using a 2019 sixth-round pick Wednesday to select the Virginia Tech cornerback.
Alexander was in the draft because he was ruled academically ineligible for his redshirt senior season. He also was arrested on a marijuana charge in 2016, but said he has passed "eight or nine" drug tests in recent months.
Had he run faster than 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash at his pro day, they would have used a higher pick to get him.
