2. Kwon Alexander
The 2015 draft class wasn’t just a success because of Winston. The fourth round yielded a pretty good football player in his own right, wouldn’t you agree?
Upon arrival, Kwon Alexander walked into the starting lineup and took it over. He has made the defense his own as the signal caller and simply been dominant. Despite missing four games in 2015 due to a substance abuse issue, he managed 93 tackles, two interceptions, three sacks, nine passes defended, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
He followed that up last year with 145 tackles, three sacks, an interception (pick-six), seven passes defended, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. We all saw how he played against the Falcons in the wake of his brother’s passing. It was nothing short of inspiring.
We need to keep this man in town for a long time.
