Wendall Williams was a football and track star at the University of the Cumberlands who created an instant reputation for his explosiveness prior to the NFL draft.
Williams ran the 40-yard dash in 4.19 seconds unofficially while running for NFL scouts. His official time was a 4.32, which is still incredibly fast. He also posted a 45-inch vertical leap.
Now, Williams is proving to be a quick study since joining the Texans as an undrafted rookie free agent.
"Yeah, he has," Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins said of the 25-year-old New York native who scored 15 touchdowns last season and was an All-American in the 100 meters, 200 meters and a champion long jumper. "I'm not sure what the guy ran, a 4.1 or 4.2, but it definitely relays over to the football field."
Hopkins ranked Williams as the fastest Texans on the 90-man offseason roster in front of cornerback Robert Nelson, who ran in the 4.4 range coming out of Arizona State, first-round wide receiver Will Fuller, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds at the NFL scouting combine and improved his time to 4.28 seconds at the Notre Dame Pro Day workout along with running back Akeem Hunt.
Out of Purdue, Hunt ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds.

Also seems Will Fuller and Jalen Strong getting to work with Osweiller and looking good so far.
Now, are the TEs going to look better this year?
