If you watched the video, you can plainly see that Vernon Gholston is a bad man. With the impressive numbers he put up at the combine, and the even better numbers he put up at his pro day, scouts and fans have been drooling all over the big 5-0. Explosive, fast, and strong, he really has all the tools. His versatility and nastiness would also translate well to the Patriots system and locker room.
Whats being lost here, is that he is an absolute terror on the field. The consensus #1 OT in the draft, Jake Long, got abused by Gholston whenever they were matched up. Gholston got into his pads all day Long, and Gholston got under Long's shoulder off the edge on more than one occassion. Projecting to a rush 4-3 end or a 3-4 OLB in the NFL, Gholston would be a steal for the Patriots at #7 and could easily go as high as #4.
