          HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans have a lot of speed on offense, and on Thursday, Will Fuller, Wendall Williams and Akeem Hunt raced to see who holds the title as fastest Texan.

          Hunt posted the video of the race on Instagram without saying who won the close contest. It appears Williams won and Hunt came in second.

          In 2016, Williams made a name for himself when he ran a hand-timed 4.19 40-yard dash at the NFL regional combine. The laser later indicated his time was 4.32, but he showed off his speed on the field during training camp after signing with the Texans as an undrafted free agent. While playing football at University of the Cumberlands, Williams also competed on the track team.

          Fuller ran a 4.32 40-yard dash at the combine last year, and Hunt ran it in 4.40 and 4.36 seconds at his pro day in 2015.

          Wide receiver Jaelen Strong was among those present at the race, calling the contest “legendary.”
