Chandler Jones has made an immediate impact on the Patriots defense, and how he has some hardware to prove it.

Jones was named NFL defensive rookie of the month for September.

Jones has 17 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in four games for the 2-2 Patriots, who are tied for first place.

The Patriots have been looking for consistent pass rush for several years, and it seems they’ve found a solid piece to build upon in Jones.
