1956

Wesley Sandy Chandler (born August 22, 1956) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for eleven seasons during the 1970s and 1980s.

He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times, and ranked twelfth in NFL history in receiving yards and thirteenth in receptions when he retired.

Chandler is a member of the Chargers Hall of Fame.

1973

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.

Prominent with him in the backfield were the brothers Reggie and Keith Beverly.

Chandler earned the nickname "Little Joe" due to his small size.

1974

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.

While he was a Florida undergraduate, Chandler became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity (Theta Sigma Chapter).

As a Gator, he caught ninety-two passes for 1,963 yards and a school record twenty-two touchdowns in a run-oriented offense, adding six more scores on rushes and kick returns to set the school record for total touchdowns with twenty-eight.

1975

He led the Gators in receiving yards for three straight seasons (1975, 1976 and 1977), and despite many seasons of pass-oriented offenses since his time in Gainesville, he still holds Florida's career records in average yards per catch (21.3) and touchdown to reception ratio (one touchdown per 4.18 catches).

1976

Chandler was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection and a first-team All-American in 1976 and 1977, a first-team Academic All-American in 1977, and the recipient of the Gators' Fergie Ferguson Award as a senior team captain in 1977.

1978

He was picked third overall by the New Orleans Saints in the 1978 NFL Draft.

Over an 11-year NFL career, Chandler played for the Saints, the San Diego Chargers and the San Francisco 49ers.

The New Orleans Saints selected Chandler in the first round (third pick overall) in the 1978 NFL Draft, and he played for the Saints for four seasons from 1978 to 1981.

Chandler was selected to the Pro Bowl after his second season in the league after finishing with 1,069 yards and six touchdown receptions.

1981

He was traded to the San Diego Chargers on September 30, 1981, to replace star receiver John Jefferson, who was traded to the Green Bay Packers after a bitter contract hold-out.

In the opening round of the playoffs that year in a game known as The Epic In Miami, he caught six passes for 106 yards and returned a punt 56 yards for a touchdown in the Chargers 41–38 victory.

1982

He holds the NFL record for most receiving yards per game in a season, set in 1982 with the Chargers.

Chandler was born in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

He attended New Smyrna Beach High School, where he was a standout high school football player for coach Bud Asher's New Smyrna Beach Barracudas.

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.

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; his average of 129 yards receiving per game that year is still an NFL record.

He also caught nine passes for 124 yards in a playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1987

Chandler represented Chargers players in the players' union, and many NFL players in that role were cut or traded after the 1987 NFL strike.

1988

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.

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.

During his 11-year NFL career, Chandler caught 559 passes for 8,966 yards and 56 touchdowns, rushed for 84 yards, returned 48 kickoffs for 1,048 yards, and gained 428 yards on 77 punt returns.
