Toledo defensive tackle Darius Alexander, a standout prospect in the 2025 Draft, visited the New England Patriots as part of his pre-draft tour. Alexander had an impressive career at Toledo, tallying notable stats like 48 solo tackles, 8.5 sacks, and multiple honors, including First-Team All-MAC recognition for his strong defensive performances.
Reportedly, Alexander has drawn interest from over 10 NFL teams for pre-draft visits, showcasing his appeal across the league. While the Patriots recently signed Milton Williams to bolster their defensive tackle position, uncertainties around Christian Barmore's health make adding depth a priority. Alexander is projected as a third-round pick according to NFLDraftBuzz.com, aligning with the Patriots' two third-round selections in the upcoming draft.
