Alexander played every game for the Bills from 2016 to 2019. The talented outside linebacker also played defensive tackle and tight end, and contributed to the special teams unit. He was nominated to the Pro Bowl in his first season in Buffalo back in 2016 and won defensive MVP in the Pro Bowl. His performances that season also earned him a second-team All-Pro selection as well. Fans will remember his performance against the Patriots back in October 2016 when they shut out their AFC East rival 16-0. Lorenzo Alexander sacked Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett and was a disruptive force the entire game.
The Oakland, CA native also played both playoff games in 2017 and 2019 for Buffalo. After the Bills 2019 postseason, he bid farewell to the fans as he announced his retirement. Alexander has been around the team since retirement, visiting the Bills minicamp this summer.
Prior to kickoff, Alexander will be the first one out of the tunnel at Highmark Stadium and will pump Bills Mafia up prior to team introductions and the opening kick for the Bills divisional showdown against the Patriots.
Get to your seats early to see Lorenzo Alexander’s acknowledgement.
