Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander feels that because of his seniority, he has no other choice but to step up as one of the team's leaders.

The 27-year-old is one of the older players on the roster and one of the longer-tenured guys.

They are now entering the 2024 season with higher expectations after overachieving in 2023.

Despite the roster age, they are even regarded as among the teams about to make a leap in 2024.

Alexander observed that his younger teammates are excited to make themselves heard and leave a mark on the league.

"It's fun to see," he said.

"When I first got here, there was a bunch of older veterans. They were doing their work, they were doing their jobs, but not at the intensity and level that these young guys are. That just makes everybody better."

They were the youngest team in the NFL last season but still managed to impress and rattle many teams. They reached the playoffs with the fourth-youngest postseason roster in the league's history.

Alexander approves coaching overhaul

Alexander said the team is stepping toward doing better than the past seasons.

During the offseason, head coach Matt LaFleur replaced defensive coordinator Joe Barry with former Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley. He also dismissed strength and conditioning coordinator Chris Gizzi and replaced him with former San Francisco 49ers staff Aaron Hill.

Alexander revealed that while changes meant new relationships, the transition has been smooth.

"It was all good vibes from the get-go," Alexander said. "That propelled me here as well. Talking with Matt, talking with Gutey (general manager Brian Gutekunst). I've seen them several times this offseason before I even came back to OTAs. Just having that relationship and building that, it's been helpful."
