Rumor is we didn't, though it's obviously impossible to know for certain either way.

Besides, I wouldn't project Gholston's success (or lack thereof) with the Jets as being identical to what he would have enjoyed with the Patriots. I think there's more than enough evidence to show that the Patriots do a better job than most of "putting their players in a position to succeed."
