Green Bay Packers star cornerback Jaire Alexander had a few words for Baltimore Ravens fans following a heated joint practice this week — and he didn’t hold back.
During the second day of the joint session between the Packers and Ravens in Baltimore, tempers flared as competitive energy boiled over into physical play. Alexander, known for his lockdown coverage and fiery personality, was right in the middle of the action. After breaking up multiple passes and jawing with Ravens receivers, the All-Pro corner took to the media afterward to deliver a clear message: “If they thought I was intense in practice, wait ‘til they see me in a real game.”
His statement came in response to jeers from Ravens fans in attendance, some of whom accused Alexander of being “too aggressive” or “disrespectful” during the scrimmages. But Alexander doubled down, saying, “That’s how I play. I bring energy, I talk, and I back it up. That’s not disrespect — that’s passion.”
The tension reportedly began when Alexander matched up repeatedly with Ravens wideout Zay Flowers, creating one of the most hyped one-on-one battles of the week. The two traded words, plays, and plenty of swagger, much to the crowd’s excitement.
While Ravens fans may not appreciate Alexander’s boldness, the Packers love it. His teammates praised his intensity and said his approach raises the bar during joint practices, setting the tone for a defense looking to bounce back in 2025.
As preseason winds down, the exchange between Alexander and Ravens supporters may fade — but if these two teams meet during the regular season or postseason, don’t be surprised if this fire carries over.
For now, Jaire Alexander has made one thing clear: he’s not changing for anyone — especially not the fans.
