Ken Houston excelled as the premier free safety of his era in a 14-year span that began with the 1967 Houston Oilers who drafted him in the ninth round of the AFL-NFL draft out of Ouachita Baptist. After excelling for six years with the Oilers, Ken was traded to the Redskins for five veteran players in 1973. He was selected for either the AFL All-Star game or the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl 12 straight seasons from 1968 through 1979
