Pro Football Focus, a website that tracks advanced NFL stats and grades players on a 0-to-100 scale, has been rolling out their Top 101 players list from the 2019 NFL season. Broncos inside linebacker Alexander Johnson is ranked No. 46 on the list.
“He didn’t start until Week 5, but from that point onward, his grade ranked among the All-Pro players at his position, and he was the best-graded linebacker of them all against the run,” PFF’s Sam Monson wrote.
Johnson (6-2, 255 pounds) totaled 93 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception in 15 games last season (12 starts). He is poised to remain a starter going into the 2020 season.
Alexander is the second Broncos player to make the list, joining wide receiver Courtland Sutton (No. 69). Last year, outside linebacker Von Miller (No. 11) and cornerback Chris Harris (No. 23) were Denver’s only players on PFF’s Top 50 list. Miller and Harris did not make the Top 101 list this year.
