HOUSTON (AP) -The Houston Texans have selected outside linebacker Brian Cushing with the 15th pick in the NFL draft, giving them a talented player to join star DeMeco Ryans.
The Southern California standout could help a team that had the third-most potent offense in the league last year, but a defense that ranked 22nd and allowed more than 336 yards per game.
Cushing had 74 tackles and three sacks for the Trojans last season. Along with Ryans, Cushing joins a unit that features 2006 top overall pick Mario Williams and recently added linebacker Cato June.
