Lorenzo Alexander

Biography

Coming out of Cal, Alexander was an undrafted free agent who cut his teeth in the league as a special teams coverage player. To stay in the league he bulked up to play both defensive and offensive line, before transitioning back to a more natural position of linebacker for most of his career. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, once as a special teamer (2012) and once as a linebacker in the 2016 season with the Bills when he led the team with 12.5 sacks, Alexander truly defied the odds. In college, Lorenzo was one of the most dominant interior linemen in the Pac-10 as a player, consistently drawing double-team strategy from opposing offenses. He was named honorable mention All-Pac-10 for two straight seasons and tabbed second team All-Pac-10 by Athlon Sports in its 2004 preseason magazine. He later earned the Brick Muller Award as the team's most valuable defensive lineman after surpassing his career-high in tackles with 33 stops in 2003.
