Kermit Alexander (born January 4, 1941) was a defensive back in the NFL. In his career, he played for the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Kermit made a memorable hit on Gale Sayers that tore his ligaments in his knee and ended his season in 1968, which played a role in Brian Piccolo helping Sayers to recover from the injury.
In 1984, Kermit Alexander's mother, Ebora Alexander, his sister, Dietra Alexander, and two of his nephews would be brutally murdered within their own middle-income South Los Angeles home. The two suspects believed to be implicated in the slaying would later be caught and identified. (also see article Tiequon Aundray Cox for more details)
