The deal for Hurst will be worth an estimated $11.1 million, Pro Football Talk reported, citing terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

Hurst was a walk-on at South Carolina in 2015 and set the school record for career receptions by a tight end with 100 over his three seasons.

A first-team All-SEC pick in 2017, Hurst had 44 receptions for 559 yards and two touchdowns. He set personal bests in 2016 with 48 receptions for 616 yards.

Hurst was a former MLB draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2012 and spent two seasons in the organization's minor league system.

Baltimore's other first-round pick, former Louisville Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson, signed his four-year contract earlier this month.
