The Green Bay Packers envisioned Jaire Alexander as their starting cornerback of the future when they selected him in the first round of this past year’s NFL draft.It didn’t take long for that to come to fruition in 2018 http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/ben-powers-jersey-cheap , as Alexander has started three games this season, including this past Sunday in Los Angeles.However, Alexander had missed the past two games with a groin injury. Perhaps that’s why, combined with his rookie status, Jared Goff and the Rams appeared to be picking on Alexander. The first-round pick more than held his own.Alexander had five pass breakups against the Rams, which was the most for any Packers defensive back in over a decade. Before Alexander’s performance, only two Green Bay players (for a total of three times) had recorded five or more passes defensed (a PD = passes broken up + interceptions) in a game since 1999.DATEOPPPDINT10/28/2018Rams5011/27/2005Eagles5012/7/2003Bears529/14/2003Lions61In that timespan (passes broken up/defensed is a recent statistic and pro-football-reference.com currently traces it back through 1999) Iman Marshall Jersey , Alexander is just one of eight rookies to have 5+ passes defensed in a game — Dee Millner did it in back-to-back weeks in December 2013 — which is even more impressive considering how often quarterbacks target inexperienced cornerbacks.Of the nine such instances by a rookie, only two had five pass breakups — Alexander and Seattle’s Marcus Trufant in 2003.PLAYERDATETEAMOPPPDINTJaire Alexander10/28/2018PackersRams50Kevin Peterson12/31/2017Rams49ers52Jalen Ramsey12/18/2016JaguarsTexans51Dee Millner12/29/2013JetsDolphins52Dee Millner12/22/2013JetsBrowns51Tanard Jackson11/4/2007BucsCardinals51Marcus Trufant11/23/2003SeahawksRavens50Anthony Henry11/8/2001BrownsRavens53Rodney Heath11/28/1999BengalsSteelers52Since 1999, but not including this season, there have been 85 games of a player recording 5+ passes defensed. That comes out to an average of 4.47 per season. However, in this pass-heavy era, the average number of such games this decade is just 3.14 (again, not including this season). Through Week 8 http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/trace-mcsorley-jersey-cheap , Alexander is the only player in 2018 to have a game with five PD.On four occasions in 2017 did a player have 5+ PD, three in 2016 and ’15 and just one in 2014.Of the 23 times it has occurred since 2011, just eight (including Alexander) were all on pass breakups.DATETEAMOPPPDINT10/28/2018PackersRams5012/31/2017Rams49ers5212/24/2017BearsBrowns6112/3/2017DolphinsBroncos5210/1/2017ChargersEagles5012/18/2016JaguarsTexans5110/2/2016RamsCardinals619/25/2016RaidersTitans5011/29/2015RaidersTitans6111/15/2015VikingsRaiders529/27/2015TexansBucs5011/10/2014EaglesPanthers5112/29/2013GiantsRedskins6212/29/2013JetsDolphins5212/22/2013JetsBrowns5111/10/2013RavensBengals6110/6/2013EaglesGiants5010/29/2012GiantsCardinals609/9/2012BroncosSteelers5112/24/2011PatriotsDolphins5112/24/2011JetsGiants5011/27/2011RedskinsSeahawks519/11/2011BrownsBengals50Of the 67 players who have recorded a game with 5+ PD since 1999, only two players — Anthony Henry and Quintin Jammer — did it three times and just 15 (including Green Bay’s Mike McKenzie) own two such games.After Sunday’s game, perhaps Alexander now will get more respect from opposing quarterbacks, making it harder for him to reappear on this list again.<em>Dave Heller</em><em> is the author of </em><em>Ken Williams: A Slugger in Ruth’s Shadow</em><em> (a Larry Ritter Book Award nominee), </em><em>Facing Ted Williams – Players From the Golden Age of Baseball Recall the Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived</em><em> and </em><em>As Good As It Got: The 1944 St. Louis Browns</em> Although it hasn’t been officially announced by the NFL David Montgomery Jersey , the Thanksgiving slate of games appears to be set: Bears at Lions in the early game, Bills at Cowboys in the mid-afternoon, and Saints at Falcons at night.Despite a previous report that the Dolphins would visit Dallas on Thanksgiving, it’s Buffalo traveling to Dallas on CBS. That’s a rematch of two past Super Bowls, and the NFL is emphasizing games with historical significance in its 100th season.Another matchup with historical significance is Bears-Lions, which will be the early game on CBS. The Bears have played 35 times on Thanksgiving and have been a frequent opponent of the Lions, the NFL’s longtime Thanksgiving hosts. As reported earlier today http://www.bearscheapstores.com/riley-ridley-jersey-cheap , the Saints are visiting Atlanta in the prime time game on NBC. That’s a rematch of last year’s Thanksgiving prime time game, and it’s likely to be a big one in the NFC South race.
