Scouting Report: Strengths
- Chambers can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
- He can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Chambers also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- Plays fast, flows with the action, showing smooth lateral agility and short-area burst. Has good instincts and awareness to quickly find the ball.
- Shows a burst to close. Flashes explosive hitting ability and good lateral and downfield pursuit.
- Chambers has excellent awareness in zone coverage.
- Will stiff-arm linemen to stay free on some plays. Athletic enough to stay with running backs out of the backfield and knock receivers off crossing routes.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- As explosive as Chambers is as an athlete, he needs to become a better finisher.
- Chambers lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Chambers lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- Possesses below-average instincts for the linebacker position. Leaves more plays on the field than he makes.
