TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have signed first-round draft pick wide receiver Michael Floyd to a five-year contract.

The team also signed third-round selection, cornerback Jamell Fleming of Oklahoma, to a four-year deal.

The moves on Monday leave all seven of the Cardinals’ draft picks under contract heading into the start of minicamp on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Floyd was the 13th overall pick in the draft. Floyd set Notre Dame career records in receptions (271), yards receiving (3,686) and touchdowns (37) in 43 games with the Irish.

Fleming was the 80th pick overall. He was the defensive MVP of the Fiesta Bowl two seasons ago and the Insight Bowl last year.
