INDIANAPOLIS — The Houston Texans liked what they saw from Florida State running back Cam Akers and they wanted more.
According to the former Seminole, after his informal meeting with the Texans on Tuesday night at the NFL Scouting Combine, the club has set up a formal meeting with him on Thursday.
Informal meetings are one thing — there is no limit on how many informal meetings a team can have with the 337 attendees. However, clubs are limited to 45 formal meetings at the combine, meaning that Akers showed the Texans something they wanted to explore more in a formal setting.
Informal meetings consist of a position coach. Formal meetings have more team personnel, sort of a group interview setting.
Akers rushed for 1,144 yards and 14 touchdowns on 231 carries in an otherwise forgettable 7-6 campaign for Florida State. Akers missed two games due to injury.
The Texans have decisions to make at running back with their top two backs in Lamar Miller and Carlos Hyde both out of contract and set to hit free agency on March 18.
