Mackensie Alexander’s debut in the nickel
Alexander played only 68 snaps as a rookie, but in 2017 he’ll be asked to play what’s effectively become a starting position in the NFL. According to ESPN Stats and Information, opponents had at least three wide receivers on the field 69.8 percent of the time against the Vikings last year.
