The Carolina Panthers signed their top draft pick this year way back in ancient May, when Derrick Brown inked his fully-guaranteed four-year, $23.6 million deal.
On Monday, they finally followed up with another rookie signing.
According to a tweet by agent Jason Bernstein, Carolina’s fourth-round pick, Notre Dame cornerback Troy Pride Jr. has also signed his deal.

Pride was the No. 113 overall pick in this year’s draft. We’re projecting him to be the top backup outside cornerback behind Donte Jackson and Eli Apple.
We should be seeing more draft picks signing soon. Rookies are due to report to training camp today.
