NFL teams will learn quickly not to kick or punt to rookie Will Fuller of the Houston Texans.

The Texans and Titans were knotted at 20-20 until Fuller took a punt return to the house making defenders look as if they were in slow motion. Already having an impressive day with his second time reaching the end zone, the punt return gave the Texans the lead in the third quarter with the score at 27-20.


While it is unknown of how the game will end, Fuller’s big play was huge for Houston. For the Texans, if they defeat Tennessee, they will be atop of the AFC South. In spite of the loss of J.J. Watt, the team that calls NRG Stadium home has the makings of a legitimate playoff contender in the AFC.

As the season progresses, Fuller continues to prove he’s one of the best rookies in the NFL. Not taking anything away from Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, and Ezekiel Elliott, but Fuller belongs in the conversation for Offensive Rookie of The Year.
