Gholston never did much in terms of impact plays other than the sack. Same as Ford.
About the same size, frame, both strong, similar measurables, etc. Both got drafted in the first round based more on their "upside" and physical capabilities versus production in college.
Yeah, I think that the Gholston comparison is totally valid.

Your comparison is bad.
Vernon Gholston was a total body builder that put on football pads and happened to be faster than the big slow Big 10 linemen he went up against every week. The reality when he got to the next level was he was a total ****ing stiff.
Dee Ford is a better technician, isn't close to what Vernon was for size and moves around the football field a hell lot better. He also has a lot better instincts.
