Former Gamecock DT whose career was cut short by a serious cervical injury
Stanley Doughty was a disruptive South Carolina defensive tackle whose college peak included 24 tackles, 7 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in the 2005 season, plus 17 tackles in 2006, with reports praising his charisma and power at the point of attack. His story matters because his NFL path was derailed by a serious neck injury that later became central to concussion-and-safety litigation, making him more than a stat line—he’s a reminder that toughness can hide real risk. If you’re evaluating fit, his profile screams old-school interior edge and physicality, but also major medical caution.
