CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -The Carolina Panthers signed third-round pick and former Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards to a four-year, $2.5 million contract.
Edwards will get about $710,000 in signing bonuses. The Panthers are converting Edwards to receiver. He could also return kicks.
The Panthers traded next year’s second-round choice to New England to get an extra third-round choice in April to take the speedy Edwards 89th overall.
Edwards is the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000. He led the Mountaineers to two national championships and a monumental upset of Michigan.
Friday’s move leaves only two of Carolina’s 10 draft picks unsigned: second-round pick Jimmy Clausen and third-rounder Brandon LaFell.
