Packers with brightest future 1: Jaire Alexander

It might not be fair to add Alexander to this list, as he’s already reached stardom. He’s coming off his best professional season in 2020 and has been recognized as one of the best all-around cornerbacks in the entire NFL. Alexander has no issue sticking with a wide receiver despite the size he might give up. He’s also a willing tackler who will blow up any wide receiver screen that comes his way.

I decided to include him in here, however, because he’s still only 24-years-old. That’s amazing considering he’s entering his fourth professional season. Alexander’s contract situation will be interesting, as he’s certainly positioned himself to be one of the highest-paid at his position when his rookie deal expires. Let’s set that aside for now, and enjoy one of the best corners to every play for the Packers. Oh, and he’s only going to get better.
