A Chickasha tight end who made the Pro Bowl in his third season with Washington

Stephen Alexander, from Chickasha, Oklahoma, played tight end at OU from 1994 to 1997. He was a first-team All-Big Eight pick as a sophomore, when he led the conference's tight ends with 43 catches, and a second-team All-Big 12 pick as a senior. He finished his OU career with 104 catches for 1,591 yards.

Washington drafted him in the second round in 1998. In 2000, his third season, he was selected to the Pro Bowl, his only selection.

He went on to play for the San Diego Chargers, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos through 2007. He was the first former Sooner tight end to make the Pro Bowl after Keith Jackson's last selection in 1996, and the last until Jermaine Gresham in 2011.

Sources for his Pro Bowl are limited mainly to Pro-Football-Reference, Wikipedia and OU's Pro Bowl page, which all list 2000.
