Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the New England Patriots in the 2nd round with the #2 pick.
Chung is an ideal New England Patriot type of player. A big hitter who will attempt to fill the big shoes left by Rodney Harrison. Their secondary has been held together by smoke and mirrors in recent years and Chung is a nice infusion of talent and youth.
