How He Fits
It’s tough to envision a better replacement for Alvin Kamara than Chandler, who is absolutely dynamic with the ball in his hands. But like Kamara, he can also run between the tackles and do a lot of different things for an offense.
Pairing Chandler with a bigger back in the 2017 class would be a dream scenario for the Vols that would make them feel much better about the impending departures of Jalen Hurd and Kamara in the next year or two.
