We have studied numerically the statistics for electronic states (level-spacings and participation ratios) from disordered graphene of finite size, described by the aspect ratio $W/L$ and various geometries, including finite or torroidal, chiral or achiral carbon nanotubes. Quantum chaotic Wigner energy level-spacing distribution is found for weak disorder, even infinitesimally small disorder for wide and short samples ($W/L>>1$), while for strong disorder Anderson localization with Poisson level-statistics always sets in. Although pure graphene near the Dirac point corresponds to integrable ballistic statistics chaotic diffusive behavior is more common for realistic samples.
