Chiefs fans know Justin Houston is a force to be reckoned with on Sundays.

Evidently, Houston's NFL-playing peers agree. They collectively voted the Chiefs outside linebacker as the 27th-best footballer on NFL Network's 'Top 100 Players of 2015' countdown (you can watch the entire segment here).

Houston, who's been a Chiefs holdout thus far, was voted to the 57th spot before last season. That's what a 22-sack season will do for a guy.

He's also the third Chiefs player to crack the list. Tamba Hali (No. 71) and new Chief Jeremy Maclin (No. 61) join Houston on the list, which has 21 players left to reveal. Jamaal Charles, Dontari Poe, and Travis Kelce have all yet to be revealed.
