 2004: Earned second trip to Pro Bowl after leading the NFL with a career-high and Seahawks-record 20 total touchdowns (16 rush, career-high four receiving) and 120 points scored. Finished first in the NFC (2nd NFL) with 16 rushing touchdowns. Led NFC (2nd NFL) with a career-high and Seahawks record 1,696 yards rushing and a 4.8 rushing average. Was second in the NFC (4th NFL) with 1,866 total yards from scrimmage and 86 first downs. With rushing touchdown versus Miami (11/21), passed Curt Warner to become Seattle’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns and his 154 rushing yards versus Arizona (12/26) passed Chris Warren’s single-season rushing record (1,545 yards). Rushed for 135 yards on 28 carries in season opener at New Orleans (9/12) and posted three touchdowns (two rush, one receiving). Totaled fifth-career, three-touchdown game (two rush, one receiving) versus San Francisco (9/26). Totaled 150 rushing yards and a touchdown versus St. Louis (10/10). Versus Carolina (10/31), toted the ball for 30-plus times for the fourth time in career totaling 32 carries for season-high 195 yards and a touchdown. Also added a receiving touchdown. Rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries at San Francisco (11/7). Posted third-straight 100-yard game with 176 yards on 22 carries at St. Louis (11/14). Tacked on two more rushing touchdowns versus Dallas (12/6). Both scores, 1 yard and 32 yards, came on fourth-and-1 plays in the fourth quarter. Registered his sixth 100-yard game of season at Minnesota (12/12) and scored on a 12-yard screen pass. Totaled three rushing touchdowns versus Arizona (12/26) on 30 carries for 154 yards, tying a career high with seven 100-yard rushing games in a season. Rushed for 80 yards in the regular-season finale versus Atlanta (1/2) just missing tying the Jets’ Curtis Martin (1,697 yards) for the NFL rushing lead. Scored 16th rushing touchdown, tying his Seahawks record (2002) and 19 carries gave him 353 on the season, also a Seahawks single-season record. Carried 15 times for 40 yards in playoff loss to St. Louis (1/8).
Pro:
Of the five running backs selected in the first-round of the 2000 NFL Draft, only Baltimore’s Jamal Lewis has more yards than Alexander (4,241). Since 2001, Alexander has 50 total touchdowns, only Kansas City’s Priest Holmes (61) has more. In 44 career starts, has totaled 15, 100-yard games. Drafted with the 19th pick in the first round of the 2000 NFL draft. Alexander became the third running back to be taken in the first round by the Seahawks, following Curt Warner in 1983 and John L. Williams in 1986. The 35th running back drafted by the Seahawks.
2000: Saw action in all 16 games and started one in a reserve role during his rookie season. Served as Seattle’s short-yardage back on third and fourth downs. Finished the season second on the team, behind Ricky Watters, rushing 64 times for 313 yards. His 4.9-yard average ranked second among rookie running backs. Average also ranks second among all-time Seahawks rookies (at least 50 attempts) behind Rick Mirer. Mirer had a 5.0 average on 68 carries for 343 yards in 1993. Alexander earned his first career start in a split backfield with Watters at Kansas City (10/2) and turned in his finest performance of the season. He rushed for season highs with 11 carries and 74 yards, which included 55 yards on six carries on a touchdown drive just before halftime to give Seattle a 14-7 lead, a drive he capped with his first career touchdown run from 7 yards out. In the second meeting versus the Chiefs (10/29), he only carried the ball four times, but rolled off 53 yards, which included a career-long 50-yard burst on fourth-and-1. Rushed for his second touchdown of the season on a 4-yard run versus Oakland (12/16).

2001: Despite only starting 12 games, rushed for 1,318 yards on 309 attempts, the fifth-highest rushing total in team history while becoming just the fourth back to eclipse the 1000-yard mark joining Curt Warner, Chris Warren and Ricky Watters. Played in all 16 games, and earned the starting role after Ricky Watters injured his shoulder at Oakland (9/30) that snapped Watters’ streak of 116 consecutive starts. Watters returned to the starting lineup versus Dallas (12/9), but suffered a broken ankle and was placed on injured reserve and Alexander started the three remaining games. Rushing total was the third-highest in the AFC (6th NFL) while his 4.3-yards per rush ranked third in the AFC (4th NFL) among backs with at least 300 carries. Led the NFL with 14 rushing touchdowns, just one shy of Warren’s 1995 team record. Led the AFC and was tied for second in the NFL in non-kicker scoring with 96 points (Faulk 128/Owens 96) on 16 total touchdowns (14 rush/2 receiving). Marked the first time that a Seahawks player led the AFC in non-kicker scoring and rushing touchdowns since 1978, when David Sims led the entire league with 90 points and 14 touchdowns. Sixteen combined touchdowns tied a team record established by Warren in 1995, and became the first Seahawks player to lead the conference in total touchdowns since Derrick Fenner scored 15 in 1990. Ranked third in the AFC (6th NFL) with 1,661 total yards from scrimmage, and ranked sixth in the AFC with 76 first downs. Finished second on the team with 44 receptions for 343 yards and two touchdowns. Earned second AFC Offensive Player of the Week award after one of the best games in NFL history versus the Oakland Raiders (11/11), rushing for a franchise-record 266 yards on 35 carries--second-most in team history--with three touchdowns. Performance was the fourth highest total in NFL history and best since Corey Dillon set the league rushing standard in 2000 with 278 yards which broke Walter Payton’s 23-year record of 275. O.J. Simpson recorded 273 in 1976. Three touchdowns were the most in one game since Warren rushed for three versus Denver on October 1, 1995. Had an 88-yard touchdown run which ranks as the longest offensive touchdown from scrimmage in team annals. First start of the season came versus Jacksonville (10/7) and rushed 31 times for 176 yards and two touchdowns while earning his first AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. Total is the sixth-highest on the team’s rushing charts. Rushed for 142 yards the following week versus Denver (10/14) on 33 carries and had two touchdowns, including a 60-yard scoring run. Versus Miami (10/28), carried 23 times for 87 yards. Although he only totaled 60 yards on 13 carries at Washington (11/4), had a 41-yard touchdown run. Registered 93 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries at Buffalo (11/18). Had 87 yards on 29 carries in overtime victory versus San Diego (12/2), including six carries for 29 yards in overtime which led to the game-winning field goal. Split time with Watters at Denver (12/9) and replaced him after Watters (ankle) got the start versus Dallas (12/16). At New York versus the Giants (12/23), rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown (from 29 yards out) on 28 carries and had one receiving touchdown for his fourth multi-touchdown game of the season. Rushed for 127 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown, on just 20 carries in the season finale versus Kansas City (1/6/02).

2002: Started all 16 games at running back enroute to rushing for an NFC leading (2nd NFL) and franchise-record 16 touchdowns, eclipsing his own mark of 15 he tied with Warren in 2001. Also led the NFC (2nd NFL) and set a team record with 18 combined touchdowns and in non-kicker scoring with 108 points. Rushed for 1,175 yards on 295 carries (4.0 avg.). Yard total ranked fifth in the NFC while he ranked fourth in total yards from scrimmage with 1,635. Had a career-high 59 receptions, which ranked third among NFC running backs, for 460 yards.

Got on track versus Minnesota (9/29) rushing for 139 yards on 24 carries scoring a career-high and franchise-record five touchdowns (career-high four rushing, 1 rec.). All scores were in the first half to set an NFL-record for most touchdowns in one half. Five touchdowns were also the second-most in NFL history to tie with nine others. Four rushing scores tied for the most in Seahawks history (Curt Warner vs. Denver, 12/11/88). Also had three receptions for a career-high 92 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown.

Also had two rushing scores the following week versus St. Louis (12/22).
