For what seems like the first time in many years, the New England Patriots had an extremely draft class in 2012, and their contributions resonated all year. Starting off the "Rookie Review" at Patriots Life, I will begin with First Round, Pick #21, Chandler Jones.
Chandler Jones comes from a family of serious athletes. Of the three boys in his family, Chandler is the youngest, and I cannot imagine his two older brothers babied him... Mine sure did not baby me. Adding onto the already aggressive nature of older brothers, Chandler had a professional football player and a UFC Light Heavyweight Champion filling those roles. Arthur Jones, defensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, and Jon Jones, the current and youngest Light Heavyweight Champion in UFC History. I cannot even imagine getting into fights with them. Just to give the readers a mental picture, here is a description of one of Jon Jones's fights:
