HOUSTON -- Will Fuller has avoided the slow start many rookie receivers endure and leads the Houston Texans and all first-year players with 323 yards receiving.The speedy Fuller has also pitched in on special teams, taking the first punt return of his career 67 yards for a touchdown last weekend to earn AFC special teams player of the week honors.And still coach Bill OBrien is looking for more from the 22-year-old as he heads into his fifth game on Sunday at Minnesota .Hes got a long way to go, OBrien said. I know that sounds crazy to you guys, but hes got a long way to go. I mean he can improve in so many different areas.Fullers speed has always been his best quality, and it was only talked about more after he ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. But entering the draft, some wondered if his other skills were good enough to succeed as an NFL receiver.The 21st overall pick in this years draft quickly allayed those fears, grabbing five receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in Houstons opener to become the first first-round pick to have a 100-yard receiving game in his debut since 1984. In Week 2, he finished with four catches for 104 yards to become the first player drafted in the first round to start his career with consecutive 100-yard receiving games.Fuller has slowed down a bit in the past two weeks, with 31 and 81 yards receiving, respectively, but that hasnt stopped people around the league from taking notice.Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was asked about the challenges Fullers speed presents.Its nerve-wracking to say the least, he said. He is a big-play receiver and hes doing a great job.The soft-spoken Fuller hates talking about himself and simply wont discuss his early success.Im just moving on, he said. We still have a long season so (theres) a lot of room for me to improve. So Im not going to just dwell on something that happened last week.Quarterback Brock Osweiler isnt surprised that Fuller is off to a great start.Will has done such a great job through the first four games because of his work ethic, Osweiler said. A lot of players leave during the summer, and he stayed here. I think that says a lot about him. I think it says a lot about him as a person.Fuller believes that building a good relationship with Osweiler has been the most important factor in how his season has gone so far.Getting on the same page as your quarterback is a big thing, he said. He has to trust you for anything to start.Fuller is a meticulous student of the game, and OBrien said he often sees Fuller jotting down notes during meetings when hes being given tips or criticism.Hes a very bright guy, very hard working guy, he said. Really understands football. Hes an instinctive player. Hes done a good job of taking care of his body ... I think the college program that he comes from, Notre Dame, trained him very well in how to practice and how to do things off the field.Fuller doesnt understand why his note-taking is a subject of conversation and shrugged his shoulders when asked about why he does it.It just helps me remember stuff, he said. When I get a tip or something, I just want to write it down so I dont forget about it.Fuller and teammate and Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be challenged this week in facing a Minnesota defense that limited Odell Beckham to three receptions for a career-low 23 yards in a win over the Giants last weekend.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cole Hamels Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.

Iowa has come to be known for its smart, tough and physical offensive lines.This season, the Hawkeyes earned an award for that prowess that had special meaning to coach Kirk Ferentz.Last week, Iowa was named the winner of the second annual Joe Moore Award, given to the nations top offensive line. The honors namesake was one of the most respected line coaches in the history of college football -- and made a deep impression on Ferentz during a season spent as a graduate assistant on the same staff with Moore at Pittsburgh in 1980.The 21st-ranked Hawkeyes (8-4) will try to finish the season on a four-game winning streak when they face No. 20 Florida (8-4) in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2.Hes probably the reason Im here right now. On a lot of levels, said Ferentz, who also played high school ball under Moore, on Thursday. He was a really special person in my life.Unlike many college football honors, the selection process for Moore Award finalists and its winner is tough to dispute. Every FBS line coach in the country gets a vote, and the award committee evaluates line play by video every week.Despite leaky play at points in 2016, Iowa beat out Alabama and Ohio State because of what committee chair Aaron Taylor, a former All-American lineman under Moore at Notre Dame, said was teamwork.The Hawkeyes needed nearly every lineman they had this season.Iowa was forced to use eight different starting units, and none of their linemen started all 12 games.dddddddddddd But the Hawkeyes put it together down the stretch, throttling Nebraska 40-10 in the season finale.Iowa was also a finalist for the award in 2015.It honors a group. Not an individual. And when you talk about the offensive line, thats what its all about, Ferentz said.The good news for the Hawkeyes is that every lineman listed as a starter against the Gators will be back in 2017.Whether that will be enough to help fix one of the lowest scoring offenses in the country will be heavily debated in the offseason.Iowas young receivers didnt do much developing in 2016, although the expected return of star wide receiver Matt VandeBerg should give the Hawkeyes more stability. Freshman quarterback Nathan Stanley looked solid in limited duty, and running back Akrum Wadley will be among the early favorites for Big Ten player of the year.But it will all start up front -- and the Hawkeyes look like theyre in good shape there moving forward.The thing Im happiest about and proudest of this football team thus far is just the way theyve stayed with things. Theyve stayed determined, theyve stayed positive, and stayed together. Theyve pushed forward. So whether its the offensive line or entire football team, I think thats what weve witnessed.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
