The Green Bay Packers have punched their ticket to the divisional round of the 2023 playoffs. Mid way through the season the Packers were all but forgotten about when it came to the playoffs. Now they are one of the final eight remaining teams in the post-season.
The Packers will travel out west to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday Night. Ahead of that matchup, the Packers decided to bring in a former Bears defender for a workout.
The Green Bay Packers Work Out Former Chicago Bears Defender Prior To Their Matchup Against The San Francisco 49ers
According to reporter Aaron Wilson, the Packers have brought in Desliln Alexandre for a workout.
Listed at 6’3″ and 264 pounds, defensive end Deslin Alexandre is 25 years old. In his five year college career, he racked up 131 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, and seven pass breakups while earning two all-ACC honorable mentions.
Alexandre’s preseason tape largely confirmed Lance Zierlein’s assessment of him in his predraft profile for NFL.com:
Alexandre (6-foot-4, 264 pounds) is an edge defender who relies on his broad frame and natural power. He’s long and naturally heavy-handed, but he will need to play with much better bend to improve his ability to hold the point against the run.
While he’s a segment mover at times, he does have quick feet and shows decent pursuit quickness and motor. He’s a face-up rusher who is unlikely to beat NFL opponents with craft moves and counters, so fortifying his power rush will be critical as a Day 3 possibility for 4-3 defenses.
With Kingsley Enagbare’s ACL injury, it is very possible the Packers are looking to add some more depth at the edge rusher position. Alexandre could fit that role. He has previously spent time this year with the New York Jets and Chicago Bears.
