- Born December 7th (happy early birthday!!), Alex is that full Sagittarius energy, born to chase the next big thing. He grew up the youngest of four kids, with two sisters and a brother, a tight‑knit crew that laid the backbone of his hustle and heart.
- Before making noise in the league, Alex was *that guy* in Canada – the 6th overall pick in the CFL Draft, and a defensive MVP with the Calgary Stampeders. Then he bet on himself, made the NFL dream real, and never looked back.
- He didn’t come from a football factory. In high school he was 5′10, described as “an OK outside linebacker,” yet somewhere along the way he outgrew expectations, developed into a 6′2, 240 lb tackling machine, and never stopped climbing.
- Since joining the Broncos, he’s been one of the most consistent and productive linebackers in the league. Over 600+ tackles later, he’s still the one you want in the middle of the field, and the guy teammates always mention when talking heart and hustle.
- This season, a random drug test led to a cancer diagnosis. He had surgery, missed one game, and was back making tackles weeks later. Literally nothing will stop him! And the support he’s received from teammates, fans, and the league? “The best thing ever,” in his own words. We couldn’t agree more.
