PHOTO: Stephon Gilmore Reflects Back On Youth Football Days

Long before he became one of the NFL’s premiere cornerbacks, Stephon Gilmore was just a young kid growing up in “Football City USA”, Rock Hill, South Carolina.

As stay at home and quarantine orders remain in effect around the country, Gilmore, like many of us, found himself missing sports this weekend.

So on his Instagram Saturday, Gilmore reminisced about his childhood and shared a photo from when he played for Rock Hill’s youth football program.

“I rocked the long sleeves back then too. Football City USA #missingsports #5 #24 #rockhillsc”, Gilmore wrote.

As for his present NFL career, earlier this month Gilmore spoke with the McCourty twins on their “Double Coverage” podcast and explained why he thinks he’s “blossomed” with the Patriots.
