is there any recent pictures of this guy ? last picture I saw of him was during the NC game against Florida where he was as usual just ripped beyond belief. He is going to be one hell of an NFL player, Im looking forward to seeing him terrorize lineman another year. I'll never forget the play in the michigan game where he just bullrushed Big Jake Long and trucked him then plowed over Mike Hart on his way to knocking down Chad Henne right after he let go of the ball.

I was talking to Freeman about Gholston a while back and he said that it's funny how ripped out Vernon is.........given the fact that he eats a bunch of junk food ect. He was laughing about it, and just said that the kid has genetics on his side.

I loved the second announcer in that clip, not Herbie, but whatever ignoramus they had calling the game. He can't contain himself, he just says, "Wow."

I think Big Vern is due for a hell of a year, double digit sacks maybe. I'd like to see Wilson and Rose make big steps up this year too, which I think has a good shot of happening.

Gholston is such an animal. Dude scares the crap out of me, and he gave Jake Long all he could handle last year. He's so fast it's incredible. I think he's easily in the top 3 for DE this year in college. Few guys have his size and speed/quickness combination.
