Summary

Darius Alexander is a high-cut, high-motor player with twitch, size and power. He's athletic enough to win with a quick first step or with power. And that power flashes on just about every play, even vs. double teams. He had a big week at the Senior Bowl, which followed an impressive season for Toledo.

About

2023-24: Two-time All-MAC (third team in 2023 and second team in 2024)
Included in The Athletic's ""Freaks List"" (credited with benching 400 pounds, posting a 30-inch vertical jump and and clocking in at 20 miles per hour on GPS tracking)

Strengths

Quick first step and consistently good hand usage; will walk OL into backfield more times than not
Flashes an array of pass-rush moves and will get his hands in throwing lanes when he can't get home
Plays with low pad level; has strength to disengage and clog gap vs. the run

Weaknesses
