Boy I am sure glad Justin got busted for drugs dropping his draft status down to the point the Chiefs couldn't refuse drafting him in the third. He was a top 15 talent until he failed the test. I have loved this draft pick from day one and from all accounts has been nothing but a role model since being drafted.

I don't know. Houston was a pretty decent player his first two years. I certainly wouldn't complain. So while he is getting more sacks in this defense in which is role has not really changed, DJ is less involved in my opinion. Other than the whiffed INT That he tipped up for Berry last week. I would have expected to see more highlight film of him but both he and Tamba are relatively role players.
