Syracuse's All-Big East defensive end Chandler Jones announced last week that he would leave SU and enter this spring's NFL Draft. Jones -- brother of former Syracuse star and current Baltimore Ravens player Arthur Jones and UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones -- had one year of eligibility remaining.
Jones talked to ESPN Big East blogger Andrea Adelson about his decision to turn pro. Jones said that injuries his brother Art suffered during his senior season at Syracuse, which likely caused Art's draft stock to fall, had an effect on his decision.
Here is an excerpt:
"Being a 21-year-old making a decision to change my whole life was huge for me," Jones said in a phone interview. "I had a lot of different yeses and nos from a lot of different people. I love Syracuse University, and I can tell you this was definitely not an easy decision."
He said there was a feeling that he was letting the team down because the Orange were not as successful as he wanted them to be this past season. But he also felt it was important to embark on a new chapter in his career, and to take full advantage of a season that also saw him get first-team Big East honors despite missing five games with a knee injury.
So Jones is now set up in Pensacola, Fla., working with Athletes Performance Inc. to help him prepare for the draft. He is expecting an invitation to the NFL combine in February, but will not get official word until after the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft passes this Sunday.

Indy writer on Delone Carter's rookie season:
Indianapolis Star writer Phillip B. Wilson recently broke down the disastrous season of the Indianapolis Colts. Among his many observations was this take on the season of Colts' rookie running back Delone Carter, a former member of the Syracuse Orange:
I didn?t care for the benching of rookie RB Delone Carter, either. Yes, he lost two fumbles before taking a seat. No, fumbling wasn?t in his history. But benching him put fumbling more into his mind. And, of course, when he got a shot later he lost another fumble. The guy was running well. We haven?t seen that kind of power running since Edgerrin James. The only reason the Colts scored in the 62-7 Saints debacle was because Carter showed rare determination, especially on the long run when it seemed tacklers had him a couple of times. With all the mistakes made on this team this year, messages needed to be sent to a rookie who was playing well but lost two fumbles trying to get extra yards? Again, not a smart move. Carter is a tough-minded guy. He?ll get past this. He got the message. But something tells me he knew fumbling was bad before the message was sent.

The New York Giants used a ferocious defense and a second-half scoring surge to rout the Atlanta Falcons 24-2 in the National Football League (NFL) wild card playoffs today.
The Giants, who went into intermission with a 7-2 lead, used a surprisingly strong running attack to control the ball and broke open a tight battle with two second-half touchdown strikes by quarterback Eli Manning.
"That's a big win today," Manning said. "Defense played awesome. Second half the offense finally got going. We ran the ball and started hitting some big plays, so a great win today."
Manning connected with Hakeem Nicks for a 72-yard touchdown in the third quarter and then dropped in a perfect 27-yard toss to Mario Manningham as he sprinted into the end zone to pull away from the Falcons in the fourth quarter. He also hit Nicks for a four-yard TD late in the first half.
"They won the battle of the line of scrimmage and that was one of the musts we had to accomplish and didn't get accomplished today," said Falcons coach Mike Smith.
The victory lifted the Giants to a divisional-round clash on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers (15-1) on January 15.
New York battled the then-unbeaten Packers in a tight struggle before falling 38-35 to them in December in their only regular season meeting against Green Bay.
The Giants, who ranked last in the NFL in rushing during the regular season, rediscovered their running game against Atlanta as Brandon Jacobs (92 yards) and Ahmad Bradshaw (63) gouged the Falcons on the ground. New York gained 172 yards rushing, nearly twice their regular season average.
"We're a very balanced offense," said Nicks, who gained 115 yards on six receptions. "We can run the ball when we want to. We were just clicking on all cylinders today."
New York's defense, which ranked 25th in the NFL in giving up an average of 25 points a game, continued a late-season rally launched by back-to-back, crucial season-ending wins against the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants limited Atlanta to just 64 yards rushing on 21 carries, sacked Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan twice, pressured him throughout and did not give up a point on defense.
"We played outstanding defense and that set the tone for everything else that happened in the game," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin. "If we can continue to play defense like that, we can make ourselves heard in this tournament."
'Huge challenge'
Atlanta put their only points on the board when Manning was called for intentional grounding in the end zone while in the grasp of a blitzing James Sanders that resulted in a safety early in the second quarter.
New York went on to score 24 unanswered points.
Twice the Giants stopped Atlanta on fourth-and-one attempts by snuffing quarterback sneaks by Ryan late in the first quarter and again in the third quarter.
"It's nothing flashy, but it's as solid a bunch as anyone else in the league," defensive end Justin Tuck said about the Giants' interior defensive line.
Defensive captain Tuck said the Giants defense, revitalized by the return of injured defensive end Osi Umenyiora, linebacker Michael Boley and safety Kenny Phillips, was peaking at the right time.
"It feels good to have a good stand on defense because we are going to need it up there in Green Bay," Tuck said. "It's another huge challenge for us and we are looking forward to it."
One possible setback for the Giants defense, however, came late in the game when cornerback Aaron Ross was sidelined with a concussion after a collision with team mate Jason Pierre-Paul.

Maddie?s Shelter Medicine Program has teamed up with experts from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for a groundbreaking conference on the increasing threat of animal hoarding.?
?
When a case of animal hoarding is uncovered in a community, the animals rely on veterinarians, animal welfare workers, and law enforcement to be there; not only to intervene for the animals? health and well-being, but also to use sound science and medical expertise to document a solid legal case.
?
Animal hoarding cases, often involving hundreds of starved and neglected animals, can quickly overcome the capacity of local animal sheltering and law enforcement agencies. Multi-agency cooperation over many months is frequently required for the initial response and for rehabilitation and adoption of the abused animals.
?
At the conference, international experts will explore the ins and outs of hoarding: from the psychology of hoarders to large-scale responses, medical triage and common health and behavior issues found in hoarded animals, and community issues from media relations to hoarding prevention and response strategies. On the conference?s second day, attendees will apply their training in a unique series of hands-on workshops, including a simulated animal hoarding crime scene.
The conference will be held in Gainesville, Florida on March 24?25, 2012. Participants will come away with the skills and confidence to respond effectively when a hoarding case comes their way. Attendance is limited to 150. For more information and conference registration: www.ufsheltermedicine.com
