INDIANAPOLIS — The role Justin Houston just signed up to play in Indianapolis is going to be a little different from the position he played so well in Kansas City for eight seasons, the position where he made his name in college at Georgia.

Houston, who has spent his entire career as an outside linebacker in 3-4 defenses, will play defensive end in a four-man front for the Colts.

The two positions are close enough that they might as well be brothers.
