I heard Ken Hatfield speak and he told a funny story about  Steve Atwater. He said he wanted a chance to play quarterback. Coach Hatfield let me try and the first pass he threw was a big duck and he was told to get over with the defense and the rest is history!!!

Coach Hatfield said that Chester McGlockton was a trouble maker and he begged Coach Hatfield to get back on the team after being kicked off. Hatfield said that McGlockton must have gotten his act together because he went to do well in the NFL.

McGlockton played Varsity Football all four years under Whiteville Head Coach Bill Hewett.

Chester played college football at Clemson University under Danny Ford and Ken Hatfield. McGlockton scored a touchdown as a Freshman in the 1989 Gator Bowl vs. WVU and Major Harris.

McGlockton was drafted by the Los Angeles Raiders in the 1st round (16th overall) of the 1992 NFL Draft. He played six seasons with the Raiders, earning all four of his Pro Bowl appearances with them. McGlockton also played for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos, and ended his career by playing one season with the New York Jets. McGlockton finished his NFL career with 51 sacks including a career season high of 9.5 in 1994.
