San Jose State's Undersized but Tenacious DB from the 2012 Era
Alex Germany, a 5-9, 185-lb safety for San Jose State in the 2012 draft class, stood out with 43 solo tackles, 25 assists, and 1 INT over four seasons, showcasing elite short-area quickness (4.63 shuttle, 7.01 3-cone) and ball skills from his high school days (477 receiving yards on 27 catches in 2006-07). His compact frame and sub-4.7 speed made him a scrappy, instinctive playmaker ideal for slot or special teams roles—perfect for teams needing gritty, high-motor DBs who punch above their weight, though his age (36) and dated production limit current relevance.
