Several former Gamecocks will take the field in week one throughout the National Football League. We are all aware of the impact Jadeveon Clowney will have in Houston, and how exciting it is for fans to have Bruce Ellington join him as well. Stephon Gilmore signed the largest non quarterback contract with the New England Patriots. Who else should Gamecock fans be watching on Sundays?

Along with these players on the 53 man roster, at least nine Gamecocks will be on practice squads this season. It's a feather in the cap of a program when it is represented in every division across the NFL. It should be fun to see which Gamecock has the biggest impact on their team and possible playoff pushes.
