The second-most famous Tyson Chandler in sports behind the NBA standout is attempting to make a bigger name for himself. So far, so good.
The undrafted free agent offensive lineman is opening some eyes on the Bills. He received attention from several teams, but deemed Buffalo the best fit since it boasted just three other tackles on the roster.
At a massive 6-foot-7, 354 pounds, Chandler has an arm length of just over three feet. He has shown excellent quickness for his size. He realizes the transition from North Carolina State to the NFL will take plenty of work and dedication, but he doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the level of talent.
"It doesn't get much better than Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes," he told the team website. "When I first got here I was a bit starstruck but now it's simply all about going out there and blocking them."
Bills left tackle Cordy Glenn has been impressed with Chandler's work ethic and ability to take what he has learned in the classroom onto the field.
"He's been doing very well," Glenn said. "He's catching onto everything. Being a rookie the biggest thing for him is just playing fast and now slowing down because of mental confusion. From everything that I've seen, he's continued to do his job over and over."
