He played with two NFL all-pros. He thinks one Gamecock can play the role they did

South Carolina defensive ends coach Mike Peterson went back to his playing days.

He was fielding a question about defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, not a player he directly coaches, but one whose gravity could open things for them. He looked back to his time with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the mid-2000s.

“You ever heard of a guy called Marcus Stroud and John Henderson?” he said.

That would be 6-foot-6, 310-pound three-time Pro Bowler Marcus Stroud and 6-foot-7, 335-pound multiple-time college All-American John Henderson, the tackle duo for those Jaguars teams.
