James Houston IV Sets Record With 4-Game Sack Streak
|
Posted By: S. Moore on December 20, 2022 HOUSTON — NFL, you have "The Problem!" Rookie linebacker James Houston IV notched his fifth sack of the season against the New York Jets in the Lions' 20-17 victory at MetLife Stadium. Each year in the NFL, there will be at least one player to prove NFL scouts wrong with a breakout season. This year's candidate is HBCU Legend, James Houston IV. Detroit's 6th-round pick was cut, signed to the practice squad, patiently waited, got the call, and has the Lions fans calling for him as "The Problem!" "We're seeing James Houston from Jackson State go out there and make many plays with the Detroit Lions." Deion Sanders
After four games since being elevated off the practice squad for their annual Thanksgiving Day game, the former Jackson State star has set an NFL record or two or three! Let's take a look at James "The Problem" Houston IV sacks:
Houston is maturing into becoming an edge rusher for the Lions and making the most of his opportunity. He's doing what many NFL teams need — someone to effect, harass, and get to the quarterback. The next phase in his maturation process is to become an "every-down" defender. It will be up to Houston and the Detroit staff to cultivate the potential of what HBCU teams knew about him in 2021. He's "The Problem" that very well could be "The Answer" to keep the Lions' streak going into the postseason.
