Professional career

Prior to the 1995 CFL Draft, Alexander was considered to be the most talented defensive lineman available based on his participation at a CFL evaluation camp.[2][3] He was widely projected to be taken in the first two rounds of the draft.[3][4][5] Alexander was selected in the bonus round with the fourth overall pick of the draft by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[6][a] As a rookie, he played in 16 regular season games and made 24 tackles and one sack.[1] Alexander was the Roughriders' nominee for Rookie of the Year.[8] He recorded 13 tackles through 10 games in 1996 after missing over a month due to a back injury.[1][9][10]

Alexander had his most successful season in 1997. He recorded three sacks on July 4 against the Edmonton Eskimos and led the CFL in sacks through the end of July.[11][12] Alexander made 28 tackles and 10 sacks in 1997, both career-highs.[1] He played in his only Grey Cup in the postseason, where the Roughriders lost the 85th Grey Cup to the Toronto Argonauts 47–23.[13] Alexander became a free agent before the 1998 season and signed with the BC Lions.[14] He dealt with injuries in 1998, playing in only 10 games.[1][15] The Montreal Alouettes acquired Alexander for training camp in 1999, but he left following a knee injury.[16][17]
