J-E-T Press:
While the Jets have done a nice job in recent years moving up to get the guys they’ve wanted, let’s not forget the heartache of years past. We need to hope Vernon Gholston will have more luck this year as he’ll have a chance to learn from fellow Detroit native Bart Scott.
There’s not too much news around the Meadowlands right now, so I figured a trip down memory lane might be fun.
Gotta laugh about it, I guess.

We have a story from our friends at Gator Country on Detroit Southeastern junior defensive end William Gholston. He is one of the top prospects in Michigan for 2010 and a cousin of former Buckeye star Vernon Gholston.
Ayo! For starters....I'm SORRY I haven't been on recently, but I've been up in Portland for the past 4 days or so at the Nike Campus! It's been a whole lot of fun, and I've got lots of stories to tell, but I do apologize for not getting on sooner, I couldn't get the internet in my room up and going. And for some reason, I couldn't get on to my YB account...

(6) New York Jets - Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB Ohio State
The Jets would love to get either Matt Ryan or McFadden with this pick but they'll have no problem settling for one of the best defensive prospects in this draft, Vernon Gholston. With all the talent Gholston has, it won't take long before he's ...

What's up, Yardbarkers?
Just wanted to check in with the Yard on the night before the Draft. It's been a big week out here in the Big Apple, not just for me but also for Glenn Dorsey, Matt Ryan, Vernon Gholston, Chris Long and of course #1 pick Jake Long (congratulations, man). I've been loving New York and the whole Draft experience. I came out a couple days before the...

Raider X has reappeared to give his take on the upcoming draft. He looks at what the Raider Nation wants. Do we want the home run hitter in Darren McFadden, or do we want to shore up the defense by adding a defensive lineman like Chris Long or Vernon Gholston? Or do we want to go for an offensive lineman to protect JaMarcus Russell? Which way will the Oakland Raiders go?

Apparently being ridiculously jacked up and 264 pounds of pure muscle doesn't mean you're going to make an immediate impact in the NFL. The Jets 6th pick in the 2008 draft Vernon Gholston recorded 13 total tackles this entire season, with 5 of them being solo. Not quite the impact you look for from a top ten draft choice. The Jets in their decision making this past offseason...

Michigan's proudest WR, Mario Manningham, managed to score a 6 on the NFL's Wonderlic intelligence test.
6.
An average score on the Wonderlic is 21, right were OSU's Vernon Gholston landed. That's supposed to represent an average IQ. But how bad is 6?

Imagine if the Patriots trade their 7th pick to the Eagles for Lito Sheppard. That would give the Eagles the ability to parlay the 7th and 19th picks for Jake Long, Vernon Gholston, Chris Long, or Darren McFadden. Let's play a little what if....

The solid choice here is Jake Long, however I really think with the signing of Jacob Bell and a ton of bodies coming back from injuries the Rams may get aggressive and take Vernon Gholston. If Chris Long is still available this will be a very tough pick. The Rams need to help out their defense which ...

The drafting of Vernon Gholston didn't seem like the right move to a lot of NFL analysts but fans saw it as the Jets finally adding a speedy pass rusher. I mean hey he was the only guy who seemed to know how to get past fellow AFC East Dolphin's 1st overall pick Jake Long in college. With the ...
