In 34 games at Ohio State, Gholston started 25 times. He registered 87 tackles (47 solo) with 22.5 sacks for minus-184 yards and 30.5 stops for losses of 199 yards. He had two pass deflections and an eight-yard interception return, as he also recovered a fumble that he returned 25 yards for a touchdown.

Maybe Gholston hasn't gotten caught yet? I mean, hasn't taken tampered supplements yet.

And no, I don't have any real reason to think he's (Gholston) taking anything,

BigChiefFan · 02-27-2008, 01:50 PM

I said this in another post, but I think the Chiefs are hoping Gholston is there when we pick-I think he's our target.

Chiefmanwillcatch · 02-27-2008, 02:00 PM

Chiefs must take him or Ellis.

I don't want to be in that draft room if JAKE isn't available.

Don't you guys have a much bigger issue on the OLine to worry about before you start looking at linebackers?

I'd rather wait until next draft and get George Selvie from South Florida.

Selvie Has Become USF's Grinch

The Tampa Tribune

TAMPA - You have to go pretty far back to find the last time someone got the better of George Selvie, the South Florida defensive end and pass-rushing hellcat who leads the nation in sacks.

Certainly it wasn't Saturday, as Selvie and South Florida annihilated Central Florida, 64-12. How'd this game get on the schedule, anyway?

Saturday was more of the same for the third-year sophomore and All-American candidate, including a true ESPN moment, a lightning-quick strike where Selvie forced a fumble by knocking the ball loose during a handoff exchange. He beat the runner to the quarterback.

That's fast.

'George is the man right now,' Bulls offensive lineman Walter Walker said.

But one night ...

It happened last season during USF's trip to the Papajohns.com Bowl. The Bulls took a trip to a Birmingham comedy club, where a comedian-hypnotist talked some players onto the stage and made them very, very sleepy.

George was one.

'The guy had George pretending to be the Grinch,' USF receiver Taurus Johnson said. You know, the one who stole Christmas. George even wore a little Grinch hat.

'George is up there, slinking around corners, pretending to steal presents,' Johnson said.

'Yes, it happened,' Selvie said. 'I didn't believe it until I saw the film.'

'He's still a Grinch,' Walker said. 'George is making off with all the sacks.'

All-American Season

Six games into a still perfect USF season, with the first BCS standings due out today, and Selvie, undersized, all arms, legs and size 14 feet, is standing tall.

You want yards?

He wants you.

Grinch indeed.

USF has never had a Division I-A All-American. Selvie is on track. He's in everyone's backfield. Saturday, on the game's second play, he had a sack. That's 11 1/2 for the season. He finished with four tackles for loss for 21 1/2 on the season, breaking a USF record. And there's half a season left.

And to think, this kid came from Pensacola as a center.

It's true. Until USF coaches said otherwise, Selvie dreamed of seeing the college football world from between his legs. Now it's at his feet.

'It's good leading the nation in sacks,' Selvie said.

Selvie is a perfect kid for USF coach Jim Leavitt. He doesn't flap his gums and has come from nowhere to the top of the mountain, just like the Bulls.

The 6-foot-4 Selvie doesn't even look like a pass rusher. He weighs 230 pounds. Though he benches 375 pounds, the guys he faces are always bigger.

'There are quarterbacks who weigh more than me,' Selvie said with a grin.

He makes up for that.

'He's explosive and fast,' USF defensive line coach Dan McCarney said.

One more thing.

'He's relentless,' Leavitt said.

'You've got to be relentless,' Selvie said.

It's good being relentless.

He only played one year of defensive line in high school, and then only on third down. He has learned moves from USF teammates and watches guys he likes in the NFL. He has a favorite.

'Dwight Freeney on the Colts,' Selvie said. 'I just like the way he plays. He hit a double move the other night. Wow, I wish I could do that. My legs are kind of long ... I might trip over my feet ... but one day you might see a double spin.'

Selvie made a name late last season in USF's upset at West Virginia with eight tackles and a fumble return for a touchdown. The key to that game, he insists, was West Virginia fans making fun of his mother by name.

'That was it,' Selvie said. 'It was on.'

It still is.

Rutgers Awaits

UCF was no match for the Bulls. The Knights gained only 145 yards, getting only 55 from Kevin Smith, who was the nation's leading rusher.

The order gets taller on Thursday night. USF travels to Rutgers for a nationally televised game, and another look at Rutgers runner Ray Rice, who put 202 yards on USF last season in Tampa.

Rutgers could remake its season with a win over USF. It could steal some headlines from Leavitt's thundering herd.

George Selvie can't wait to watch Rutgers film. The only film he can do without is that hypnotist thing last year.

'I don't need to see that anymore,' Selvie said.

He still has his arms filled with sacks.

It's good to be the Grinch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is his freshman stats...

2006: Started all 13 games at right end and led all linemen (third overall on team) with 84 tackles, 15 for loss and 5.5 sacks...Eight tackles, including 3.5 for loss, a nine-yard TD recovery and a forced fumble in the WVU (Nov. 25) win...Season-high 10 tackles at Cincinnati (Oct. 22)...Two sacks vs. Florida International (Sept. 9)... Nine tackles in wins over FIU (Sept. 9) and North Carolina (Oct. 14)...USF’s Defensive Rookie of the Year....2005: Used redshirt season...Won USF’s Overachiever Award for his outstanding work in strength and conditioning program.

Elite players are what the Chiefs need. The Chiefs are just now laying the foundation, we can and SHOULD pick any player at any position and be better at the position, than we were prior to the draft. Gholston is elite, the Chiefs reaching for someone like Clady at number five would be one of the biggest mistakes we could make. Always take best player, unless you are stockpiled at the position, obviously the Chiefs aren't. Gholston is a top five player and should be drafted accordingly. The Pats aren't getting our player-you released Colvin too fast-tough shit.

Did you pay any attention to how your team was built?

BigChiefFan · 02-27-2008, 03:33 PM

Imagine getting him and netting high draft round picks for Jared Allen or bookending the two. I'm leaning towards Gholston as the best pick for the Chiefs at 5.

A few highlights from the BCS Championship game. Watch at the 46 second mark where I believe Gholston (at RE) is getting pancaked by a WR in a goal line situation. At the 1:00 mark (at LE) he looks like Eric Hicks.
