Alexander continues to trend upward in his still-young career. He was excellent in off coverage (five-plus yards of cushion at the snap) in 2020, finishing with a league-best targeted expected points added of -25.1 on such targets (remember, the lower the better for targeted EPA for defenders). What made Alexander effective was his ability to close on pass catchers and stay in their pocket throughout the route, allowing a league-low 1.8 yards of separation per target in off coverage. As you might expect, Green Bay was very confident in lining up Alexander off the line of scrimmage, averaging 7.5 yards of pre-snap cushion per coverage snap in 2020 (the fourth most in the NFL, minimum 300 coverage snaps), yet he closed so effectively, he posted the highest tight window rate in the NFL at 42.3 percent. His catch rate allowed over expectation has gone from +7.2 percent in 2018 to -2.2 percent in 2019 and -7 percent in 2020. Alexander just keeps getting better, and he’s already among the league’s best.
