When the Chiefs locked up linebacker Justin Houston on a six-year extension worth $101 million ($52.5 guaranteed), Houston wasn’t the only one smiling.
So were his teammates.
“It’s big for us,” Chiefs wide receiver Junior Hemingway said Saturday while at Trey Hobson’s youth football camp at Shawnee Mission East High School.
“To have Justin back, man, it’s a good move for us. We can keep pushing, keep doing what we’re doing as a team, keep building, keep grinding, and get going — and try and get this ring.”
To Hemingway, Houston is not just the best defensive player on the Chiefs, but the best in the league.
