Packers HC Matt LaFleur & WR Davante Adams praise CB Jaire Alexander ahead of Family Night

Head coach Matt LaFleur heaped praise upon CB Jaire Alexander during media interviews after Thursday’s training camp practice. “I love everything about Jaire, I love the way he competes; he brings so much energy on a daily basis, I think the future’s bright for him & I think he’s going to establish himself before long as one of the leaders on our defense.” LaFleur obviously sees a lot of untapped potential in the second-year product out of Louisville.

Wide receiver Davante Adams also had nothing but great things to say: “I’ve spoken highly of Jaire since he first got here. I love the way this kid operates, you know, he walks around with his headphones on throughout the day, he’s just locked in. He doesn’t just show up to work like it’s just another job, he takes it seriously, you know, he’ll be on his Ipad within five minutes asking me why I did this and how I beat him; what was I thinking, you know different things like that that young guys typically don’t pay attention to or just aren’t interested in. When I see him go about his business like that, it makes me excited to be on the same team.” 

The second-year CB hopes to not only impress LaFleur & Adams even more but also the many fans in attendance tomorrow night at Lambeau Field. In his first year (13 games, 11 starts), Alexander recorded 61 solo tackles, 1 interception, 1 QB hit, and 3 tackles for loss. He’s hoping to add to that resume this season. His mentality in only his second year is what’s most amazing to me. He has that drive to compete and get better every single day. That’s what makes him such a great player on the Packers’ defense and hopefully — a definitive leader of it soon enough.
