Things all a little quieter for NFL Gamecocks this year. Most of the Spurrier Era players have cycled out of the league. Deebo Samuel, Hayden Hurst, Stephon Gilmore, and Jadeveon Clowney are the only ones that remain. Gilmore is still playing quality football despite being the elder statement of former Gamecocks. A lot of the late Muschamp and early Beamer players are making their livings on special teams.
