| Chandler Jones Scouting Report |
| Chandler Jones - Syracuse (HT: 6-5⅜ - WT: 266) |
Positives -- Great length and is a good size for a 4-3 defensive end; has a long frame that should allow him to put on some more muscle... His athleticism could allow him to play some 3-4 outside linebacker in obvious passing situations... Uses his hands well to get blockers off of him; shows a
nice jab that can catch players off guard... Has some natural power to his game; when he gets a good first step his bull rush is very tough to stop... His long wingspan allows him to use his swim move effectively; his length allows him to extend off of blockers and his arms allow him to reach out and grab ball carriers that are near... Doesn't stop working until the whistle is blown; motor is off the charts... Was very productive despite being a constant target of double teams in college... All of the physical tools are there, just needs good coaching to refine him into the starter that he should become.
Negatives -- Not fast enough to beat tackles around the edge; lacks the first step to get around athletic lineman... Needs to play with better pad level, gets too upright and can be easily driven off the line by a stronger player... Takes too much time when trying to get past players; instead of taking two or three steps he'll take five or six and this can take him out of plays... Struggles with the change of direction; counters and misdirections can eat him alive... Needs to add more bulk to his upper and lower body... Needs to develop a secondary move to complement his swim move... Needs to be more consistent; will show up for a game then will be a no show in the next one... Missed five games in 2011 with a knee injury and needs to be medically checked out.
