Packers who need to play better: Jaire Alexander
Money talks. So does Jaire Alexander. Unfortunately, his play hasn’t been doing much talking this season.
Alexander was a rising cornerback entering the 2021 season, but has taken a step back the last two years. Even before his 2021 campaign ended prematurely due to injury, he struggled. Those struggles have carried over into 2022.
He still possesses all the elite skills necessary to be one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. Green Bay desperately needs him to return to form. Their last four games include the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
