Outlook for seven USC players attending the NFL Combine, which starts on Thursday in Indianapolis. The grades are from NFL.com. GoGamecocks Josh Kendall will be at the Combine to cover to the Gamecocks - look for updates this week and next.
JUSTICE CUNNINGHAM
Tight end, 6-4, 264
Grade: 63
Bottom Line: Has skills as a run blocker and pass blocker, but he has been underutilized as a receiving threat. Shows enough skills to get open and make catches. NFL.com
DEVONTE HOLLOMAN
Linebacker, 6-2, 241
Grade: 70.5
Bottom Line: Shows off his ability to lay the wood and move in coverage. Could be a solid pick as a Sam backer, and a likely candidate to outplay his draft position. NFL.com
T.J. JOHNSON
Center, 6-6, 319
Grade: 59.0
Bottom Line: Has played guard as well as center and is a veteran. He has played against a lot of good players and held his own. He could be late-round pick. ESPNs Mel Kiper Jr.
MARCUS LATTIMORE
Running back, 6-0, 218
Grade: 74.9
Bottom Line: Offers intriguing blend of power, balance, vision and production. Its hard not to question his future durability after major injuries to both knees. NFL.com
ACE SANDERS
Wide receiver, 5-8, 175
Grade: 68.0
Bottom line: Super quick, dynamic, similar to what Andrew Hawkins is doing with the Bengals. Great slot guy and punt returner. -- ESPNs Mel Kiper Jr.
D.J. SWEARINGER
Strong safety, 6-0, 210
Grade: 81.4
Bottom Line: Tenacious hitter has played free and strong safety, and his good performances at corner suggest he has the potential to cover NFL tight ends. NFL.com
DEVIN TAYLOR
Defensive end, 6-8, 267
Grade: 62.9
Bottom Line: Most intriguing is that his frame does not appear to be maxed out yet. It seems as if he can easily get to around 300 pounds, without sacrificing athleticism. NFL.com
