"I heard how he was perceiving me before the [2008] draft, before he knew me, and I was the same way -- I wasn't hoping for him to be [my] first coach of the Jets when I was there, either," said Gholston, who was picked sixth overall in the 2008 NFL Draft.
"Being a first-round pick, you would have hoped for more [of a chance]," he added.
"Rex made a comment to me when he first came in that he thought I wasn't liked by the guys on the team, then once he got there he saw that wasn't the case," Gholston said. "Those perceptions kind of determine the outcome, and it's sad to say."
Those are three quotes from former first round pick (read:bust) Vernon Gholston, crying about how he didn't get a chance to play under Rex Ryan. I can't stand Ryan has much as the next guy but he is a good coach and has no problem dealing with outspoken personalities or putting talent on the field. As a top 10 pick Mr. Gholston you were suppose to be a part of that talent. Bro, you were the 6th overall pick weather the coach didn't like you or not the team had to play you those first two years because the organization is paying you a shit ton of money. Only problem with that is well, you sucked bad. Like no sacks bad but that was only the reason you were drafted. But lets just sweep that under the rug, if Rex hugged you a little more you probably would have been the tits.
- On Hard Knocks it seemed like big Rex wanted you to turn it around but it's better to just make excuses instead of admitting you were a giant piece of shit on the field. Just another player who looked better in t-shirt and shorts, than he did in pads.
