Playing his first eight seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, Justin Houston was an upper-echelon Outside Linebacker for a four-year stretch (2012-15).

After a solid rookie year, Houston would sack opposing Quarterbacks 10 times, which he followed with 11 the season after.  A Pro Bowl Selection in both of those seasons, Houston was unstoppable in the next season terrorizing QB’s to the tune of 22 Sacks, which led the NFL and would become a Chiefs record.  Naturally, he was a First Team All-Pro that year.

A four-time Pro Bowler, Houston signed with the Indianapolis Colts after the 2018 Season.  With the Chiefs, Houston had 78.5 Sacks.
