I don’t have a clue as to what the financial situation of former Syracuse football great Chandler Jones is. Frankly, it’s none of my business.
But let’s assume that Jones, a Super Bowl champion, a two-time All-Pro and a member of the 2010s NFL All-Decade team, is doing okay money-wise.
Regardless of that, Jones, who played for the Orange from 2009-11, earned his degree from the ‘Cuse in human development and family science this past week, per an announcement from the university’s athletics department. And we should all applaud him.
Jones, who landed a Super Bowl ring with New England a few years back, when the Patriots defeated Seattle, has worked remotely to complete his coursework since opting out of his senior term at Syracuse to pursue his professional football career.
