'Keeping up with the Joneses' was always an adventure for the Cardinals' Chandler Jones

If you’ve ever watched Chandler Jones ferociously run through or around an NFL offensive lineman on his way to another quarterback sack, you should know the Cardinals’ edge rusher began learning his craft at a very tender early age.

When you’re the youngest of three brothers fighting over the channel changer, the last slice of pizza or the joystick to the family video-game system, you learn awfully quick that if you’re not first, you’re last. Chandler Jones always hated being last.

He had to be smarter, quicker and sometimes, sneakier.

But when your big brothers happen to be Arthur Jones III, an eight-year NFL defensive end and Super Bowl champion, and Jon "Bones" Jones, the two-time undisputed UFC light-heavyweight champion, being first at anything can be a daunting task.
