10. Chris Houston, Lyndon B. Johnson

Playing both running back and cornerback during his time at LBJ High School, Houston took off after switching primarily to defensive back for his senior season. After an impressive prep career, Houston would go on to play at the University of Arkansas from 2003-2006, helping a struggling program to a 10-4 season as a junior. With 89 tackles, and three interceptions, the Razorbacks cornerback would forgo his senior season and enter his name into the 2007 NFL Draft. Houston would hear his name called during the second round of the draft and would go on to appear in nearly 100 career NFL games. Behind 13 interceptions and 79 passes deflected, the 5-foot-10 cornerback showcased his consistent play throughout his sevenyear career with the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions.
