The Colts needed to add depth to their pass rush before the 2019 season and when the Chiefs cut ties with the veteran in Houston, general manager Chris Ballard was all over it. Signing Houston to a two-year deal, the 30-year-old was excellent from the edge.

While there were some that wondered if he would be able to make the transition to a 4-3 end, Houston silenced any doubters with a 10-sack season—the most he’s recorded since 2014.

The Colts pass rush has some young, promising pieces but the strength of the unit came from Houston.
