Kwon Alexander

Age: 24

Last Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kwon Alexander is a very young, and experienced prospect who is hitting the Free Agency market for the first time in his career. Since getting drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Alexander has showcased some promise. Unfortunately, the Buccaneers are looking to turn a page without Alexander. Maybe his injury concerns also have something to do with that.

Last season, Alexander managed to only appear in six games. The year before that? He played in twelve. Out of his four seasons in the NFL, Alexander has one full season in the books, which was highly impressive as he led the league in solo tackles with 108 total.

Since Alexander is only 24, there’s a good chance he garners a ton of interest on the market. Unfortunately his health is concerning though. With all of that wear and tear occurring during his first four seasons in the league, that raises some serious concern. In the Eagles case, that could be a make or break situation for 2019 and beyond.
