Former South Carolina star safety makes NFL history in rookie deal with Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks just made it very clear how much they are invested in former South Carolina star safety Nick Emmanwori, and he hasn't even played a snap in the NFL yet. Emmanwori agreed to a fully guaranteed rookie contract with the Seahawks, making NFL history in the process. The former Gamecock becomes the first No. 35 overall pick ever to have every single dollar of his rookie year locked in. The four-year, $11.6 million contract also includes a $5 million signing bonus, setting a new bar for second-round picks in the draft.
