7 Gamecocks taken in 2009 NFL Draft

Seven University of South Carolina football players were taken today during Day 2 of the 2009 NFL Draft.

Jared Cook's name was the first to be called, going late in the 3rd round to the Tennessee Titans. After Cook, WR Kenny McKinley, LB Jasper Brinkley and OL Jamon Meredith were all 5th round picks.

CB Captain Munnerlyn and CB Stoney Woodson were taken taken a few picks before Mr. Irrelevant K Ryan Succop.

The Gamecocks' 7-player draft class was second in the nation to Southern Cal's 11. Albeit most of the Trojans' stars were selected on the first day, headlined by No. 5 Mark Sanchez's contract with the New York Jets. Go Cocks!
