Mel Kiper lists top 20 rookies of 2011
I wasn't sure if we would find a Chief on this list. But after scrolling down the rankings, I found our lone choice: 19. Justin Houston (Chiefs) | Draft Position: 70 He gets some credit because he's another guy who had to convert systems, and played really well down the stretch for an underrated Kansas City defense. With 5.5 sacks in his last five games, he could bust out in 2012. He's nestled between Torrey Smith and Greg Little, which isn't bad company. He's also the 3rd lowest draft choice on the list, which makes him an even greater gem. I'm pretty sure we're all thinking the same thing, this LB corps is going to be really exciting to watch in 2012!
