Mike Maycock interview about SC's players at Combine.

quote:

Mike Mayock, draft analyst for the NFL Network, has good news for some University of South Carolina 2015 draft prospects and mixed news for others.

He believes offensive guard A. J. Cann will hear his name called on the second day of the three-day draft....
