CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with first-round pick outside linebacker Leonard Floyd on a four-year contract with a fifth-year option, the team announced on Friday.

The Bears moved up two spots to draft Floyd ninth overall in late April.

“Well, he’s big and fast,” Bears right guard Kyle Long said of Floyd.

“He’s very long. He’s got really good hips and leverage. Obviously being back inside I haven’t had an opportunity to go against him. But you see it on tape. He flashes some really, really good stuff.
