Jaire Alexander. . team. 49. . Cornerback, NFL Draft.

The Packers defense can and should be looked upon as the weak link that has consistently held this team back from winning a second Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers.

A big part of their problem is the cornerback position.

They haven’t had a lot of star power there since Charles Woodson’s heyday. That might be why they invested so heavily in guys like Jaire Alexander, and for good reason. This kid has the look of a true lockdown guy.

Don’t be fooled by his size.

Athletically there isn’t a receiver he can’t cover. It’s a matter of whether his body can hold up to the grind. If it does, they solved a huge problem.
