I read an article yesterday from the Columbus Dispatch, regarding
Gholston being drafted by the Jets.  I plucked this out from the end of
the article:

"OSU defensive coordinator Jim Heacock heard some of those pre-draft
criticisms, too, such as Gholston supposedly taking some plays off and
not being strong against the run.

'He had 14 sacks, a school record, and we've had some pretty good
defensive linemen go through Ohio State,' Heacock said. 'That tells me
he was going pretty hard most of the time. I also heard that he wasn't a
very good run defender, but in my opinion, that was his strength.'

'He played awfully hard. He prepared hard, studied film hard, and led
hard. Everything he did was with a purpose. I don't think you do the
things he did for our defense and take plays off. No, in my opinion the
Jets got a great person, a hard worker, and one heck of a football
player who's only going to get better.'"

Hard to believe that the Jets overlooked him.... ;-)

        This is my favorite draft story (beating out the Bengals
drafting more players of questionable character and the Browns drafting
Martin "Mother" Rucker, who might have the best nickname ever)...keep in
mind that according to the Wonderlic ratings a score of 10 indicates
literacy:

        Comments from league insiders continue to flow into PFT
headquarters regarding the disclosure that Michigan receiver Mario
Manningham
<http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/26/manninghams-wonderlic-score-r
eal-and-deserved/>  (who might not even be able to spell his name
correctly on a consistent basis) scored a six in the Wonderlic.

        A league source has further confirmed that Mario did indeed
score a six, saying that the score is "real and deserved."

        Per the source, Manningham showed low intelligence in some of
his team visits, which will not help him reverse a steep slide of what
once was believed to be a round-one draft stock.

        But there's no denying that Manningham is a phenomenal athlete.
Even if he might ultimately need to have the ten letters in his last
name tattooed on his fingers and thumbs.
