posted video<\/a> of Jackson greeting him.<\/p>\n\u201cI tried to get him on a fade route with D-Hop,\u201d Jackson said after practice Wednesday. \u201cWe were out of bounds a little, but he\u2019s still that guy. Jaire\u2019s still that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ravens will obviously hope so.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been talking kind of me playing nickel, he\u2019s playing corner and how I play things. So it has been exciting, but what I like the most is just his swag to the game,\u201d cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. \u201cI think confidence is the biggest key you can have at cornerback, and I think you can never have too much confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baltimore’s secondary includes a veteran in Humphrey, plus a trio of recent first-round picks \u2014 fourth-year safety standout Kyle Hamilton, second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins and rookie safety Malachi Starks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the secondary. I love the potential that we have,\u201d Alexander said. \u201cI love watching Marlon play. I love being around him. I thought I was weird, but I don\u2019t know, he might (have) me beat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Humphrey was asked about that assertion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do the early morning lift at 6 a.m. It\u2019s about eight of us, and he\u2019s like, \u2018Man, I need a speaker right here as loud as can be,\u2019\u201d Humphrey said. \u201cWe are not alike in that aspect at 6 a.m., but he\u2019s a cool guy. We\u2019re both, I would say, on a little bit of the strange side, but we\u2019re really jelling well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baltimore lost cornerback Brandon Stephens in the offseason, and safety Ar’Darius Washington went down with a torn Achilles tendon.<\/p>\n
Alexander brings plenty of experience to the group and seems to be fitting in \u2014 in his own unique way.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike I said, he wants music blasting. He said, \u2018I need a speaker right here,\u2019\u201d Humphrey said. \u201cI was like, \u2018We\u2019ve got them in the ceiling.\u2019 He said, \u2018No, I need the boombox right by here, right in my ear,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018All right, that\u2019s different.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
