Defensive end Vernon Gholston is arguably the biggest bust in NFL history. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound Gholston, selected by the New York Jets out of Ohio State with the sixth choice in 2008, somehow never tallied one sack or forced fumble over 45 games with Gang Green. Consequently, the organization released the muscleman with a Herculean physique in March 2011. The 32-year-old Gholston, who was out of football by August 2012, established a Somerset, New Jersey-based horticultural company called Anew Wellness in 2014. Anew Wellness’ primary objective is to assist people struggling with mental health issues.
