5 Qs: Lions rookie EDGE James Houston ‘has an uncanny ability to take over a game’

The Detroit Lions really want to get to the quarterback in 2022. They drafted Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson with the second overall pick and then doubled down at the position when they took Kentucky edge Josh Paschal in the second round.

Then, in the sixth round, they tripled down when they took Jackson State edge James Houston.

Houston getting drafted is a big deal. He’s the first Jackson State player to be drafted since 2008 (wide receiver Jaymar Johnson by the Vikings) and the first player coached by NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders to get drafted.
