In his previous four years with the Cardinals, Chandler Jones kept at least an arm’s length away from answering questions about his goals for a season. And when your arm is 35½ inches long, that’s a good distance.
In 2016, for instance, he was asked about the possibility of amassing 20 sacks in a season. “I never go out to get a certain number,” he responded.
In 2020, however, Jones is trying a counter move. In a video conference with reporters this week, Jones complimented teammates and coaches several times, and he also embraced every question regarding the statistics he could put up in 2020 and his status in the NFL.
