Report: Bears host Pittsburgh defensive lineman Deslin Alexandre for visit


by - Senior Editor -

Pittsburgh defensive lineman Deslin Alexandre is set to visit the Chicago Bears today and tomorrow, according to sources. Alexandre, who has also been garnering interest from the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints, has been making a name for himself in the run-up to the NFL draft.

A quick and explosive athlete, Alexandre has been impressive in both his physical abilities and his technical skills. His quick first step and solid change of direction make him a threat on the defensive line, and his heavy hands consistently force offensive linemen onto their heels. With his impressive upper body strength and ability to gain leverage, Alexandre is a difficult opponent to handle.

In 2022, he had 29 total tackles with 5.5 sacks and two passes defended.

Alexandre is not only a threat as a pass rusher, but he is also a high-effort run defender. His patience and vision make him effective in setting the edge and controlling his opponents, and his long arms and movement skills allow him to make solid tackles even through engagement.

At the next level, Alexandre is projected to be a true defensive end in either a 3-4 or 4-3 defensive front. His combination of physical ability and technical skill makes him an attractive prospect for any team in need of a strong defensive lineman.

It is clear that Alexandre has been making a strong impression in the lead-up to the draft, and his visits with the Chicago Bears and other teams show that he is a player to watch. With his impressive skills and potential, he is likely to make an impact at the next level and become a valuable addition to any team's defense.
