This kid is a freak. A monster. A demon to all offensive linemen, QBs, and RBs. Vernon Gholston is this draft's version of Vernon Davis. Wow freaky they have the same names and both dominated in NFL combine.

Vernon Gholston, DE out of power house and best college football team Ohio State, will be drafted in the top-ten come April. I'm predicting my rivals, the Bengals, pick up Gholston (if available) at the 9th pick.

In 2007, Gholston ranked tied for third in nation with 14 sacks for minus 111 yard (also an Ohio St. record beating Mike Vrabel's 13). According to NFL.com:

"In 34 games at Ohio State, Gholston started 25 times. He registered 87 tackles (47 solo) with 22.5 sacks for minus-184 yards and 30.5 stops for losses of 199 yards. He had two pass deflections and an eight-yard interception return, as he also recovered a fumble that he returned 25 yards for a touchdown."

At the combine the 258 DE, ran a 4.67 in the 40 yard dash, had 37 reps on the bench (that's better than all the DEs and all but 1 OLs), and 35.5 vertical jump (better than some WRs).

Screw drafting a QB, the Ravens should draft Gholston and place him opposite to Suggs. That duo would terrorize NFL offenses.


Watch the monster at the combine:
