Chaney is a physically imposing defensive back who combines rare functional strength with a high-tier athletic profile. Standing 5’10.5” and weighing 166 lbs, Chaney utilizes a powerful lower body and exceptional hip strength to dictate terms at the line of scrimmage. He is a punishing tackler who uses his leverage to stonewall running backs and larger receivers, consistently preventing yards after catch or contact. This physicality makes him a versatile weapon in coverage; he has the pure strength to reroute tight ends and the athletic twitch to remain fluid in his transitions.

What truly sets Chaney apart is his massive 72-inch wingspan and vertical explosion. Finishing in the top 10 of the broad jump at the showcase, he demonstrates the “spring” necessary to contest high-point balls against taller targets. While he is more than capable of locking down opponents in man-to-man, he truly flourishes in a safety role where he can survey the field. His combination of reach and verticality effectively shrinks passing windows, allowing him to disrupt both medium and deep vertical routes. Whether he is filling the alley in the run game or patrolling the secondary in zone, Chaney’s physical tools make him a high-impact defender with elite range.
