Early life

He attended New Smyrna Beach High School,[1] where he was a standout high school football player for coach Bud Asher's New Smyrna Beach Barracudas.[2] In his junior year the team was undefeated, including a victory over the Rams of Interlachen High School which snapped their 21-game regular season win streak.[3][4] Chandler scored twenty-two touchdowns as a senior in 1973 (scoring five in a single game), and rushing for 1,052 yards and catching 22 receptions as a wishbone halfback.[2] Prominent with him in the backfield were the brothers Reggie and Keith Beverly.[5] Chandler earned the nickname "Little Joe" due to his small size.[6] In 2007, thirty-three years after he graduated from high school, the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) recognized Chandler as one of the "100 Greatest Players of the First 100 Years" of Florida high school football.[2]

College career

[edit]

Chandler accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he was a wide receiver under coach Doug Dickey on the Gators football team from 1974 to 1977.[7] While he was a Florida undergraduate, Chandler became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity (Theta Sigma chapter).

Chandler in 1984

The New Orleans Saints selected Chandler in the first round (third pick overall) in the 1978 NFL Draft,[14] and he played for the Saints for four seasons from 1978 to 1981.[15] Chandler was selected to the Pro Bowl after his second season in the league after finishing with 1,069 yards and six touchdown receptions.

The following season was Chandler's best, when he led the NFL with 1,032 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns in the strike-shortened 1982 season;[17] his average of 129 yards receiving per game that year is still an NFL record.[18][19] He also caught nine passes for 124 yards in a playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chandler represented Chargers players in the players' union, and many NFL players in that role were cut or traded after the 1987 NFL strike. After he was elected to the union's executive committee, Chandler was traded to the San Francisco 49ers, with whom he finished his career in 1988.[17] He played in four games before retiring in October after tendinitis in a knee and frustration over his performance. The 49ers went on to win the Super Bowl that season. "My heart wasn't in it. It had nothing to do with being a quitter. It was more about real-life decisions," he said.[20][21]
