‘”I could continue to play on and on and on,” Alexander said, via NFL Network’s Kimberly Jones, “but that deters me being able to be there for my kids, obviously emotionally, spiritually, and then physically, because the more I play, the more injuries that I will succumb to eventually just because of age and wear and tear. I really want to be an active dad, hanging out with them, playing with them, taking them on trips. I don’t wanna be a guy that’s old and can’t do too much because I played too long. So I’m happy about walking away. I’m at peace with it because I’m choosing my kids and my family and my wife versus not choosing football.”‘
