The Washington Redskins signed third-round cornerback Fabian Moreau, their last remaining 2017 draft pick, on Friday.
Moreau, 23, is recovering from a torn pectoral muscle he suffered at his pro day in March. He is expected to make a full return to the field sometime in late August or early September.
The cornerback out of UCLA was projected to be selected in the first or second round before the injury and went 81st overall to the Redskins. In 2016, he made 31 tackles with 12 passes defensed and two interceptions for the Bruins. In total, the 6-foot, 206-pounder appeared in 51 college games and recorded 148 tackles with 26 passes defensed and three interceptions.
Moreau agreed to the standard four-year deal for players drafted outside of the first round.
Moreau was at Washington's practice facility for rookie minicamp and the first sessions of organized team activities.
"(I'm) just diving into the playbook and just learning everything I can," Moreau told the team's website at Monday's Redskins Charity Golf Classic at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Va.
"It's just a setback. Nothing I could control but I'm rehabbing getting healthy as I can. It's just another opportunity to prove myself."
