P.J. Alexander – Denver Broncos Player Bio

Name: Patrick James Alexander Height – Weight: 6’4″ – 297 lbs. Position: Guard Age – Experience: 29 – 6 College: Syracuse

P.J. Alexander returns to the Denver Broncos after an almost two-year stint with the Atlanta Falcons. Alexander played mostly tackle in college (and some center) but has been playing guard at the pro level. Of the 20 games Alexander has played in his career, 4 of them were starts (all with Atlanta) and 11 other games came last year on special teams with the Broncos.

The Good: Not a lot of game tape to be seen here, folks, but Alexander is approaching his 6th year in the Pros, not an easy task in today’s NFL. His versatility and experience in the zone blocking system make him a nice asset.

The Bad: He’s been a career backup with the Broncos, but his left knee has caused him repeated troubles. In 2005 he tore his left ACL and was released the following year during training camp. In 2007 he suffered a three month injury to the same knee and was released by the Falcons.

Current Status: Potential camp fodder. Signed a contract in October of last year that lasts through 2008. With the additions of Kory Lichtensteiger through the draft and Casey Weigmann through free agency, Alexander will have to work hard to show that the five years on the bench and therapy table have paid off.

Now we turn it over to you. P.J. Alexander – worth keeping, or camp casualty?
