Houston played most of the year with a shoulder injury he suffered in the first game of the season. The injury kept Houston mostly on the offensive side of the ball.

Where he really shined, and it doesn’t get as much fanfare is blocking which he is great at. Houston led this team by example and always showed up and played lights out.
