Justin Houston

What I admire most about Justin Houston is the grind behind the numbers. A third-round pick out of Georgia who turned himself into a four-time Pro Bowl linebacker and an All-Pro, he embodies the kind of self-made trajectory I find far more compelling than top-pick hype. At 191 cm, he played with a relentless edge, and his pass-rushing prime in Kansas City was genuinely fearsome to watch. Defensive players rarely get the glamour, but the craftsmen who chase quarterbacks down year after year are, to me, the true backbone of the game. Houston earned every bit of his reputation.
