Houston was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in round 3 (pick 70) of the 2011 NFL draft. The young linebacker immediately made an impact with 5.5 sacks and 56 total tackles in his first season. The next year he doubled his sack total with 10 then in 2013 he gained 11 sacks with a combined 100 tackles in that same time span. What’s impressive is 21 of those tackles were sacks leading to a nearly 1-5 ratio of sacks to tackles. His best year was in 2014 with 22.0 sacks and 70 total tackles, producing what would be his career-best year.
