Adams brought up the fact that Philip Rivers, the legendary Los Angeles Chargers’ quarterback, usually gets headlines for having 10 children, but Alexander has him beat on that front. 

Rivers is one of the new first-time Pro Football Hall of Fame nominees, and Alexander hopes to one day be in the halls of Canton, too.

Alexander was the 2005 NFL MVP after leading the league in rushing yards (1,880) and rushing touchdowns (27) on 370 attempts over 16 games. He helped the Seahawks reach the Super Bowl that season, though they fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-10.

Alexander was named to three straight Pro Bowls from 2003-05, cementing himself as one of the league’s best rushers. He played eight of his nine NFL seasons in Seattle, tallying 9,453 rushing yards and 100 rushing touchdowns over 123 games (96 starts).
