Texans' Will Fuller joins Hugh McElhenny in rookie record book

Texans rookie wide receiver Will Fuller joined some exclusive company this week when he achieved the same distinction as former San Francisco 49ers star halfback Hugh McElhenny.

Fuller is just the second NFL rookie to reach the 300-yard from scrimmage mark and have a touchdown on a return in the first four games of his rookie season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

A first-round draft pick from Notre Dame with 4.28 speed in the 40-yard dash, Fuller has made some dynamic plays with his combination of athleticism and instincts. He leads the Texans with 19 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns.
