per Andre Adelson's article today:
 
In discussing his reasons for leaving
 
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri]The [B][U]first[/U][/B] was his brother, Arthur. Back when Arthur was playing defensive line for the Orange, he had a similar opportunity to leave school early for the NFL draft. After putting together a season that led him to first-team Big East honors, Arthur Jones decided to stay in school. It was a decision that ended up costing him in the NFL draft, because Jones hurt his pectoral muscle, and then his knee and slid all the way to the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round.[/FONT][/COLOR]
 
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Calibri]The second was information he got from the NFL Draft Advisory Board. Chandler Jones knew if he was told he would go anywhere in the first three rounds, he would most likely leave. He was given a second- or third-round grade. [/FONT][/COLOR]
