I don’t know about where he goes in the draft. I’m not in that league anymore. But I tell him all the time, there’s no one pulling for you more, outside of your own family, than this (SU) family...The higher he goes, the better career he has in the NFL, will only help Syracuse football. Everyone knows if you’re a 17-or 18-year-old kid, and you’re being recruited, you know – ‘Why don’t you come up here and play defensive end for us. Our last defensive end went in the first round’ – that’s a good thing. Not only that, but Chandler is a New York State kid. So that shows there is that type of talent in this state. We just have to get it here at Syracuse University and develop it."
