Former FSU football cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. becomes the first 2021 draftee of the LA Chargers to sign his rookie contract.

The Chargers took Asante Samuel Jr. with the No. 47 overall pick of the second round. I thought Samuel Jr. would go earlier than that after a couple of cornerbacks were taken within the first 15 selections of the draft.
