Finding former Longhorns in the NFL is not a problem but former LBJ High School standout, Chris Houston is making a name for himself at cornerback.
He got his first start during the fifth game of last season and he's been starting ever since. It's been a great sophomore season for the former Arkansas Razorback. Only one year and a-half ago, he was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons and he's now living his dream in the NFL.

"The whole experience has been great … making it to the playoffs for the first time is very big," he said.
Houston's parents made the long trip to Glendale from Austin.
"I have great family support. They travel wherever I go and it's very fun to play in front of my family," Houston said.
Houston's father, Larry said it's the culmination of hard work.
"Just seeing the gratification of all his hard work culminating and him being here in the NFL playoffs," he said.
Houston and the Falcons came up short in their Wild Card Playoff game against Arizona, but the loss came following a great turn around season.
