Jaire Alexander and Darnell Savage are part of the future of the Green Bay Packers. Those guys will have a direct impact on what the Green Bay Packers do this season. especially in the defensive backfield. Alexander is finally getting the respect that he deserves this offseason. After a breakout game (For the national media, not us) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, people started to understand Jaire’s impact. Savage is ready for some big spotlights as well. This is a good start. In The Athletic this week, Lindsay Jones gave her top players under the age of 25. Both Alexander and Savage qualify here. This is what she said.

Jaire Alexander as CB1 was a no-brainer. He is in the conversation to be the NFL’s best cornerback — and if you need a reminder, re-watch the NFC Championship Game and check out his two interceptions of Brady. And while Green Bay is trying to improve at its other cornerback spot (hence the arrival of first-round pick Eric Stokes), the Packers might have the best corner-safety duo in the league in Alexander and Darnell Savage (four interceptions last season).

As mentioned in the blurb, Eric Stokes would be an awesome compliment to these guys. If Stokes lives up to his potential, they could have a great future secondary. Those are guys you can build with for years to come. Not just in the immediate future. Brian Gutekunst did a great job rebuilding this secondary. It took many swings, but they finally found the right combination of guys that fit. Now, there are rumors that Jaire is ready to sign a big deal right before the season kicks off. This is a very Packers move to get something like that done before the kickoff of the season. We’ll see if they’ll get it done.

Look forward to Alexander and Savage will leading the way in the defensive backfield all season.
