NFL Draft Scouting Report: Rufus Alexander


Posted Nov 10, 2005


Rufus Alexander\OLB\Oklahoma

Full Name: Rufus Alexander         School: Oklahoma

Ht: 6-0     Wt: 220     40: 4.63     Yr: 4Jr

Pos: Speedy linebacker who stands out in pursuit. Immediately diagnoses the action, displays quickness in all areas of the game and makes a lot of plays laterally. Tough in run defense and flashes on the scene. Slips blocks and covers a tremendous amount of area on the field. Solid backpedal in coverage.

Neg: Handled at the point and does a lot of running around blocks rather than meeting opponents head-on.

Analysis: A solid weak side defender for the next level, Alexander is a high revving, intense linebacker. Always working to make positive plays, he's best suited for a system which allows him to freely flow to the action.
