Kwon Alexander brother: Meet Broderick Taylor Jr.

Kwon Alexander (born August 3, 1994) is an American football linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alexander has previously played with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets.

Alexander announced his decision to forego his senior year and join the 2015 NFL Draft on his Twitter account on December 31, 2014. Alexander was one of 33 collegiate linebackers that attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Alexander was second among all linebackers in the 40-yard dash, sixth in the bench press and short shuttle, and ninth in the three-cone drill.

Alexander has been consistent for the majority of his career, earning a Pro Bowl berth with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017.
But what really made that performance remarkable was the fact that he had just lost his younger brother, Broderick Taylor II, in a brawl in their hometown of Anniston, Alabama, the day before. He was observed crying throughout the game, and the locker room events that followed were heartbreaking – and he also had another interception called back due to a penalty.
