The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed rookie running back Jaylen Samuels to a four-year contract.

The team announced the deal Wednesday B.J. Hill Jersey , less than two weeks after the AFC North champions selected Samuels in the fifth round. Samuels is the first of Pittsburgh’s seven 2018 draft picks to sign.

Samuels did a little bit of everything during his career at North Carolina State. He set a school record with 202 receptions and is second on the school’s all-time list with 47 touchdowns. Samuels filled a variety of roles for the Wolfpack, working out of the backfield as a running back and occasionally lining up at tight end and wide receiver.

The Steelers will welcome rookie and first-year players during a minicamp this weekend.
