Vernon Gholston(notes) is still not where the Jets want him to be, but they think he can get there. The team has seen enough of Gholston?s raw natural ability to know he can be an elite player in the NFL. Whether it is the speed he shows running down and covering kicks or the power he shows in certain pass rush drills, Gholston has the physical tools to be a dominant player.

What?s lacking at times is the fire and passion all elite rushers seem to have. The sense of urgency when Gholston is trying to get to the quarterback is not always evident, and one has to wonder if it will ever show up. In my experience, players either have it or they don?t.

?How am I supposed to look?? asked Gholston when questioned about whether or not he has the killer instinct or a hunger to get to the quarterback. ?I really don?t even know what that means or what people want me to be doing. Am I supposed to run around and do cartwheels after I make a tackle or something? When I am out here, I am in work mode and I just don?t see how jumping around helps that.?
