Akeem Hunt displayed his trademark burst during the Texans' organized team activity, scooting upfield away from pursuit.
It was a familiar sequence for one of the fastest players on the roster.
The Texans have identified progress from Hunt after a rookie season where he flashed skill and versatility, albeit in spot action.
"He's a lot farther along than he was last year," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "We brought him in a little bit later on. He's got really good speed. He's a very hard worker. He's guy that we used a little bit in the passing game last year.
