Houston is a four-time Pro Bowl selection that led the NFL in sacks in 2014, which earned him first-team All-Pro honors that year. The 32-year-old was also quite productive in his time with the Colts.
Houston totaled 19 sacks, 30 quarterback hits and a league-high three safeties between 2019 and 2020. Now, Houston will join a loaded Ravens squad with eyes on a championship.
