The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed first-round pick Bud Dupree, according to Ed Couchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The deal is with $9.2 million ver four years with a fifth year option and a $5.5 million signing bonus.
Dupree, 22, finished with 247 tackles and 23.5 sacks in his four year career at Kentucky. He also had 37 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles.
Dupree had a fantastic combine, impressing scouts with his 4.56 second 40-yard dash and 42-inch vertical. That performance helped raise his stock enough to become a first-rounder.
