The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> were quick to scoop up Jaire Alexander<\/a> after the veteran cornerback was released by the Green Bay Packers this offseason. Lamar Jackson<\/a> was eager to reunite with his former Louisville teammate and he didn\u2019t waste any time before testing him in training camp.<\/p>\n

Following the Ravens\u2019 first practice, Alexander told reporters<\/a> that Jackson \u201cthrew a back-shoulder\u2013 He tried to throw a back-shoulder on me with \u2018D-Hop\u2019 [DeAndre Hopkins], so I had to give him a little jazz about that. I said, \u2018Come on, man. I know it\u2019s my first day, but it\u2019s still me, you know what I mean? It\u2019s still me.’\u201d<\/p>\n

After seeing the Pro Bowl corner\u2019s boast, Jackson answered back<\/a>. \u201cI was just making sure,\u201d the two-time MVP responded on his X account.<\/p>\n

Alexander and Jackson both attended Louisville and were both selected in the first round of the 2018 draft. Now they\u2019re teaming up in the NFL.<\/p>\n

The Packers signed Alexander<\/a> to a four-year, $84 million extension in 2022, making him the highest-paid corner in the league at the time. However, Green Bay grew frustrated with Alexander\u2019s availability<\/a> since signing the deal. While acknowledging he\u2019s still one of the most talented defensive backs in the NFL, the Packers were concerned that Alexander had only been able to play in 14 total games over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

The team sought a trade but ultimately released Alexander in June. Upon seeing the corner become available, Jackson pushed for the Ravens to sign Alexander<\/a>. Baltimore landed him on a one-year deal worth $6 million.<\/p>\n

With Alexander onboard, some NFL insiders reacted by declaring the Ravens Super Bowl favorites in 2025. However, Jackson pumped the breaks<\/a> a bit as a loaded roster on paper doesn\u2019t necessarily translate to wins during the season.<\/p>\n

Still, the addition of Alexander gives the Ravens an all-first-round starting secondary. The group, consisting of Marlon Humphries, Nate Wiggins, Kyle Hamilton, Malaki Starks and Alexander, were all first-round draft picks.<\/p>\n

Alexander is hoping to bounce back after two injury-marred seasons with the Packers<\/a>. But health is always the big question mark for every team as injuries play a role each year. If Alexander can stay healthy and return to his Pro Bowl form, the Ravens will be formidable in 2025.<\/p>\n
