CB3 - Chris Houston, Arkansas	NFL.com Profile
Height: 5-10 Weight: 185 40 yard dash: 4.32 Grade: 91
Strengths: Chris Houston has adequate size and uses his size to physically match up with bigger receivers. He has good power and long arms that allow him to jam receivers at the line of scrimmage, which the scheme at Arkansas requires. He is one of the fastest players in the draft and is able to turn and run with receivers. He has good change of direction skill in case he is beat to recover quickly. Houston is an extremely confident corner who has potentially the most upside of any CB in the class. Weaknesses: Houston could have benefited from another year at Arkansas to improve his technique. He is still raw and relies on his physical skills too much. With his confidence comes an overly aggressive style of play that can leave him susceptible to double moves. He is not the best at supporting the run, as he is not as aggressive in run support as he is in the passing game. He is not the best open field tackler. Despite great athleticism, he does not have elite ball skills. Overall: Chris Houston made a name for himself with a solid junior season in which he shut down top receivers Robert Meacham and Dwayne Jarrett. He is drawing comparisons to former Arkansas corner Ahmad Carroll and while there is some reason for concern, Houston is a better overall prospect. Houston, unlike Hall and Revis, has the ability to develop into a true shutdown corner, but he also has a much higher bust factor than those two players. For a prospect of his caliber more interceptions and pass deflections would have been expected. Houston could possibly be the first corner off the board, but the risk factor makes him more deserving of a pick in the bottom third of Round One.
