The South Carolina football program has had a knack for putting players in the NFL at a higher rate than the on-field winning (or losing) in college would indicate. However, a smaller group of NFL Gamecocks really stand out above the others as the best South Carolina football alums to play in the League.
Honorable Mention
AJ Cann: An elite run blocker in college and in the League, AJ Cann (2010-2014) was a starting guard in the NFL for a decade. Spending most of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cann led the way up front for a team that was one play away from the Super Bowl when former Gamecock teammate Stephon Gilmore knocked away a Blake Bortles pass to seal the game.
