Steelers sign last draft pick, defensive lineman Hargrave
The Steelers have all seven of their draft picks under contract.
On Friday, the Steelers came to terms with their final unsigned draft pick, third-round defensive lineman Javon Hargrave, on a four-year contract.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but the NFL's rookie salary slotting system will pay Hargrave in the neighborhood of $3 million over the length of the deal that includes a signing bonus of just less than $700,000.
Hargrave (6-foot-2, 305) was the 89th overall pick in this year's draft out of FCS South Carolina State, where he was a two-time SBN Sports Mel Blount Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in 2014 and 2015.
Hargrave amassed 37 sacks, including at least 10 in each of his last two seasons. Against Bethune-Cookman during his junior season, Hargrave had six sacks.
The Steelers will hold a three-day mandatory minicamp starting Tuesday. It will be the last time the team is together until they report to training camp July 28.
