NFL Week Fourteen: Gamecocks In The League
The Gamecocks had another decent week at the professional level, winning most of their games, and there were even a few matchups between teammates.
The Gamecocks in the league had a few great comebacks and a few large blowouts. The largely successful NFL product South Carolina has produced is a testament to South Carolina's great job at developing players.
Most of South Carolina's alumni also are a part of some of the best teams in the league, a display of the winning culture South Carolina has instilled. These players are also large contributors in most cases, a display of the prevalence of the former Gamecocks.
Deebo Samuel, 49ers WR - Samuel had six receptions for 58 yards and four rushes for five yards in the 49er's fourth straight win.
Jadeveon Clowney, Browns EDGE - Clowney had a quiet game, recording only two tackles in a Browns win over the Texans.
