Davis Alexander came as advertised in 2025.

As we continue previewing a brand-new season by highlighting one storyline for each CFL team, we land on Montreal and Alexander’s sophomore season as a starter. With the groundwork laid last year, it feels like Alexander is on the cusp of cementing his status as one of the league’s elite.

The only thing we haven’t seen from Alexander is a full season.

Hampered by a lingering hamstring injury last year, Alexander was limited to just seven regular season starts before suiting up in a trio of playoff games. When healthy, though, Alexander was spectacular. He recorded 2,024 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, three interceptions, and a sparkling 110.7 passer rating, the latter number finishing second only to BC’s Nathan Rourke.

Along the way, Alexander racked up a 9-1 record in a combined 10 starts, with the only loss coming in the 112th Grey Cup. And you sure do wonder how things might have been different, even slightly, had his injury not flared up ahead of that........
