former N.C. State offensive tackle Tyson Chandler will get a chance to bring his big, 6-6, 331-pound frame to the NFL next season as he inked a free agent deal with the Buffalo Bills.

"To have an opportunity like this is a dream come true," Chandler told MyCentralJersey.com.

Chandler started every game at right tackle for the Wolfpack last season, and 11 games as junior.

Here is a portion of NFL.com’s scouting analysis of Chandler: Rare arm length with wingspan of 88 inches. Can unfurl his arms and get hands on speed rushers that other tackles might not be able to reach. Shows adequate change of direction with feet and can challenge inside moves with his length and feet. Understands protections and makes necessary adjustments on the fly. Usually plays with adequate foot quickness and weight distribution in kick­ slide.
