Justin Houston – Baltimore Ravens
At 34 years of age, veteran Justin Houston can still terrorize the league’s signal-callers. The 6 foot 3, 270 pounder registered 9.5 sacks and 17 quarterback hits in a part-time role for the Ravens in ’22, and has shown no signs of slowing down.
Over the past 12 seasons, Houston has amassed a mind-blowing 111.5 sacks in stints with the Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis and Baltimore. Back in 2014, the four-time Pro Bowler added a sensational 22 sacks to his NFL resume as a member of the Kansas City defensive unit.
The Arizona Cardinals could look to Houston as a one or two-year bridge to the future, with Thomas and Sanders developing their pass-rushing skills behind him. A mentor for that duo who could also flirt with a double-digit sack total in ’23 could be the right way to go for the Arizona braintrust.
