Has quite a few starts. Guessing this was a George Edwards call.

..yes sir, mo playas for DQ.

Played with Kearse together at Clemson. Ironically both drafted by the Vikings in 2016.

Interesting he and Sheffield are 5’10

 

[Cowboys22]

Did not play well the last season he was healthy but was a solid player before that. I guess they bringing the CB from the PS up and Alexander will take his place as depth.

I expected and predicted they would add a CB. But I didn't see this coming.

5' 10" out of Clemson. Vikings drafted him at #54 (7th CB drafted) in 2016.

College:
First-team All-ACC (2015)
Third-team All-American (2015)
Freshman All-American (2014)

"At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Alexander was projected to be a late first round or second round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the third best cornerback prospect in the draft by Sports Illustrated, was ranked the third best cornerback by DraftScout.com, and was ranked the seventh best cornerback by NFL analyst Mike Mayock."

Welcome, lad!

That is a fine scrap-heap signing. Alexander has a lot of playing experience, but most of it has not been good. Still, it's mid-season free agency.... you take what you can get at this point.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

He could be a bust or a good pickup.
The thing is, at ;least we are being proactive.
Thx, Jerry.

He’s never been solid

 

[5Stars]

I like this kind of pickup from other hungry players that come help this team.

 

[DCBoysfan]

I suspect his primary contribution will be on special teams, with KJ moving to a starting role.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Everybody now......'CHAMPIONSHEEEPPP'....

 

[Silverz1972]

This is wright’s chance to show what he’s got. Now or never.

He played under Mike Zimmer who if we all remember used to play Newman 15 yards off the LOS. Hopefully he does better under the DQ scheme.

 

[AsthmaField]

He’s a warm body. I liked him okay coming out of Clemson but his play has been somewhat less than stellar.

However, I’ve learned that some coaches can get different things out of different players, so I’ll take a wait and see attitude on him.

Quinn might have a very specific thing that he needs out of a guy… who can play better when asked to do less/different things.

In other words, I’ll trust Quinn on this.

Good point. That has something to do with it.
