Chandler's my boy, but I kinda chuckled as well when he said "my biggest strength is speed". Oh yeah Chan? He's a regular Lightning McQueen...
Some have very short memories, one play vs 2.5 years isn't fair.Jones does have great speed for a DE. People are looking at that 1 play after coming back from a knee injury that may not have been 100% yet. How many times have we seen him blow into the backfield or make a play across the field? Plenty of times in his career. That's what people loved about him.

He needs to show that speed at the Combine, and that he is 100% recovered medically. He could be a very good rush end, or OLB in a 3-4 if he shows some coverage skills. Hard to fault him at all for going for it now. And, it wouldn't hurt the program to have a relatively "high" NFL draft pick.
