The Houston Texans locked up one of their twin first-round picks.
The Texans announced Friday they have signed defensive end Will Anderson to a standard four-year rookie contract.
According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the deal is fully guaranteed at $35,212,818 and comes with a fifth-year option — standard among all first-rounder contracts since 2010. Anderson’s deal also includes a $22.609 million signing bonus.
The Texans picked Anderson with the No. 3 overall selection in April’s draft. The former two-time Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year is expected to bring an aggressive pass rush off the edge for Houston in first-year coach DeMeco Ryans’ attacking defensive scheme.
