DeAndre Hopkins ranks rookie Wendall Williams as fastest Texan

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.
