Arizona Cardinals sign second-round pick Christian Kirk

The Arizona Cardinals signed rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk, the team announced Thursday.

Kirk, the second-round pick (No. 47 overall) of the Cardinals out of Texas A&M, signed a four-year contract.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Kirk had 71 receptions for 919 yards and a career-best 10 touchdown catches last season for the Aggies.

The only player in Texas A&M history to record back-to-back seasons of at least 80 catches, Kirk had 80 receptions for 1,009 yards and seven touchdowns in 2015 and followed that up with 83 grabs and nine scores in 2016.

A native of Scottsdale, Ariz., Kirk also starred on special teams, leaving A&M as the NCAA's active career leader in punt return average (22.0) and punt return touchdowns (six).

Kirk's 234 career receptions rank third in SEC history and second on the all-time school list for the Aggies.

The Cardinals now have five of their six draft picks under contract. Only third-round selection Mason Cole remains unsigned.
