Following his collegiate career, Alford signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL) on February 10, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he did not play in 2020 and several of his pro day workouts were canceled.

After completing training camp with the Blue Bombers in 2021, Alford won a starting job at cornerback and played in his first professional game on August 5, 2021, against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats where he recorded six defensive tackles. On September 18, 2021, he recorded his first career interception and first career touchdown as he picked off Edmonton Elks quarterback Taylor Cornelius and returned it 20 yards for the score. He finished the game with two tackles, two interceptions, and a forced fumble and was named the CFL's top performer of the week. He would help the Bombers' league-leading defense to their second consecutive Grey Cup title as they defeated the Tiger-Cats 33–25.

On January 10, 2022, Alford signed a reserve/future contract with the Atlanta Falcons. On October 2, during a game against the Cleveland Browns, he made a game-sealing interception on a pass thrown by Jacoby Brissett to win the game 23–20.

On April 7, 2025, Alford re-signed with the Falcons on a one-year deal.

On March 12, 2026, Alford signed a three-year contract with the Buffalo Bills, worth up to $21 million.
