NFL Mock Draft 2011: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Snatch Up Justin Houston

April 4, 2011   ·   Alec Dopp   ·   Jump to comments

As the Buccaneers look to regain their swagger on offense like that of years past, head coach Rahim Morris is busy looking for prospect to aid in Tampa Bay's resurgence on defense.  And with a draft filled with defensive talent, he should look no further than Georgia's manhandling outside linebacker, Justin Houston.

Though many are projecting Houston as only a 3-4 LB, he would fit the Bucs' system as a defensive end/linebacker combo player quite nicely.

In his three seasons with the Bulldogs, Houston accumulated 19 sacks and 110 total tackles on his way to becoming the most complete linebacker in the SEC in 2010.  Just imagine Houston in a Tampa Bay uniform.  Looks nice, doesn't it?

Houston will bring tenacity and determination to a needing Tampa Bay defense for many years to come.
