JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Akeem Hunt waited all season for a chance to play. When it finally came, he made it count.Hunt was promoted from Houstons practice squad Saturday and delivered in a big way Sunday. The second-year pro from Purdue ran eight times for 52 yards in a 24-21 win at Jacksonville . He had a key run down the stretch, a 17-yard gain on a third-and-16 play in the fourth quarter that set up a field goal.I wasnt surprised with what Akeem did, Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler said. You were able to see glimpses from Akeem throughout the preseason. He seems to have so much bottled-up energy. If you get him the ball, he might be able to spring the big one every single time. Hes so athletic, hes so fast, hes quick and hes a smart football player as well. He had great vision today and really hit the holes hard.He ran five times for 39 yards on Houstons final scoring drive early in the fourth quarter, none of his carries bigger than that third-down run. The speedy back caught Jacksonville by surprise when he took a handoff and skirted around the left side for the teams second-biggest gain of the game. It led to Nick Novaks 51-yard field goal, which proved to be the difference.That was crushing, Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. I thought it was a pass for sure. Everybody made a mistake thinking it was pass. Weve got to get off blocks and make the tackle. Nobody seemed to do that and we lost. Two or three plays as a defense will show us why we lost the game, but we were playing a hell of a game.The Texans finished with 181 yards on the ground. Lamar Miller led the way with 83 yards, including a 45-yard scamper that set up a first-quarter touchdown.Osweiler scrambled for 23 more. Hunts yardage was equally eyebrow-raising. After all, he was added to the 53-man roster the day before the game because Jonathan Grimes (illness) didnt make the trip. And Hunt could have been playing elsewhere.One of the fastest players on Houstons roster -- he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds coming out of college -- Hunt was let go in final roster cuts. He was offered practice-squad contracts by Chicago, New Orleans, Kansas City and others after scoring two touchdowns during Houstons preseason finale against Dallas.He opted to remain with the Texans and take his chances on the practice squad. Hunt showed glimpses of potential as a rookie last season, rushing for 96 yards on 17 carries and catching six passes for 39 yards. That came after previous stints with the New York Giants and Baltimore.But what he did in Jacksonville has to top his highlight list.Akeem ran really well, especially in the fourth quarter, and it was good to have him in there, Miller said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 270 Wholesale . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.Conceicao, who won the lightweight gold medal (132 pounds in the amateur ranks), will make his professional debut on the Manny Pacquiao-Jessie Vargas undercard on Nov. 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, duBoef said.As talented as the 27-year-old Conceicao is -- he was also an Olympian in 2012 and 2008 -- duBoef sees him as a fighter with a built-in fan base at home who can become a major box-office star.The most important thing to me was the incredible connection he has to those fans in Brazil, duBoef said. That was A, No. 1. The fighting style, his speed, his power, what he does with his right hand or his left hand -- I will leave that to my matchmakers. But his marketability is sensational, absolutely over the top.DuBoef said that Top Rank matchmaker Brad Abdul Goodman, who attended the Olympics, was blown away by the reaction he saw from the Brazilian fans when Conceicao boxed.He said he had never seen anything across the board in terms of enthusiasm in the arena as Conceicao progressed in the Olympics, and especially when he won the gold medal, duBoef said. Obviously, his skills at that level speak for themselves, but the marketability and coming from Brazil, which is a massive country that supports its sports stars, make this the perfect combination for us.DuBoef said he will be in Rio de Janeiro to make a formal announcement of the signing at a news conference on Sept. 9.Conceicao, who has solid power, fluid movement and good defensive skills, won the gold medal by unanimous decision against Frances Sofiane Oumiha as the home crowd went wild.Afterward, Conceicao said, It was an incredible feeling to represent the whole of Brazil and also [the state of] Bahia. I continued to fight because of them. They gave me the strength when I was fighting, so it was an incredible feeling. Itts because of them that I got this medal.dddddddddddduBoef said because of Conceicaos considerable amateur background and age that he will forgo four-round bouts and make his pro debut in a scheduled six-rounder.Hes mature, and hes going to jump right into six-rounders and maybe into eight-rounders after two fights, duBoef said. We may see quicker transitions to the pros than we have after previous Olympics because of the new rules in Rio.For the Rio Olympics, male boxers fought without head gear in matches that were supposed to be scored like professional bouts using the 10-point must system rather than wearing head gear and having computerized scoring, as had been the case in several previous Olympics.His trainer [Luiz Dorea, who has worked with MMA star Anderson Silva] feels the development into a professional will be very smooth and quick, duBoef said.Besides his gold medal and three Olympic appearances, Conceicao claimed a silver medal at the 2013 World Amateur Championships and a bronze medal at the 2015 World Amateurs. He took silver at the 2011 Pan American Games.At the 2011 World Amateurs, he lost a 19-18 decision to eventual winner Vasyl Lomachenko, a two-time Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine, a former professional featherweight world titleholder and a reigning junior lightweight world titleholder. Top Rank also promotes Lomachenko, and perhaps a pro rematch with Conceicao looms in the future.Conceicaos signing is the second major Brazilian one for Top Rank. Following the 2012 Olympics, it signed middleweight Esquiva Falcao, the countrys first-ever boxing silver medalist. Falcao (14-0, 11 KOs), 26, is one of Top Ranks top prospects.This is step No. 2 of our long-term investment into Brazil and the boxing category, duBoef said. Theyre huge fans of MMA, but its also a fertile place for boxing.Top Rank has a strong history of developing Olympians from their pro start into professional world champions and star attractions, having done so with fighters such as Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto and Lomachenko, to name several.
