HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans signed second-round pick center Nick Martin to a four-year deal today, making him the fourth draft pick to sign with the team.
All that remains are the class's two marquee players -- receiver Braxton Miller and Will Fuller.
Rookie signings are essentially a formality in this era of the collective bargaining agreement as contracts are slotted, for the most part. The Texans got fifth-round picks KJ Dillon and D.J. Reader and fourth-round pick Tyler Ervin signed before rookie minicamp last week.
