When asked about his former teammate and new Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans, Cushing was quick to note how different the energy around the city is and how well qualified Ryans is for the rebuild.
“DeMeco has got great energy. I really think he relates with every single guy on the team. I don’t know personally but I believe he has an open door policy where if guys have questions or a desire to talk about something he has no problem sitting down and talking. He has advice outside football too. Whatever DeMeco decided to do in life he was going to be successful… Excitement isn’t even the word for seeing him go out there and turn things around. If anyone could do it, it was him.”

Cushing played with Ryans for three seasons before the latter was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. If anyone knows just how talented Ryans was as a leader, the former linebacker who made hundreds of tackles alongside him is well qualified to attest to that.
