Jay Glazer, of Fox Sports, discusses how Gholston is now being tutored by Hall of Fame LBer Lawrence Taylor. If he’s going to reach out to anyone for help, LT is a damn good one to learn from.
Rather than sit idly by as his rookie season was littered with labels of “bust” and “disappointment” the former Ohio State Buckeye this week made what could be the smartest contact he’ll ever make.
Gholston met with the greatest tutor a 3-4 linebacker could ever hope to have — Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor.
Taylor told FOX Sports that Gholston reached out to him through his marketing agent Mark Lepselter and actually met with Gholston on Monday — the first step in what Taylor thinks will be a long-term relationship.
“He reached out to me and I’ve never really had the time to do anything like this but after I met him, I really like the kid,” Taylor said Sunday morning from, of course, a golf course in Florida. “He’s a good kid and he wants to bust his butt and really understand this defense. After I met him I decided I’d help him.”
I strongly suggest reading the full article, and it’s great to see that Gholston is not sitting around sulking in his struggles, but reaching out to better himself.
