The San Diego Chargers has signed first-round pick Larry English to a five-year contract.
The deal was announced Friday night by the club.
English was the 16th overall pick in April. He is expected to join the team in time for Saturday's training-camp practice at Chargers Park.
The 6-foot-2, 255-pound linebacker is from northern Illinois.
The Chargers have but one draft pick unsigned: wide receiver Demetrius Byrd, a seventh-round selection. Byrd is recovering from injuries sustained in an April car accident.
The terms of the deal were not immediately known.
