Steelers first-round pick Bud Dupree graduated from the University of Kentucky last weekend. Thursday, he officially became a millionaire. 

Dupree signed a four-year deal worth $9.2 million, including a $5 million signing bonus and a team option for a fifth year, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. 

The 22nd overall pick in the draft, Dupree is set to compete with Arthur Moats for time at left outside linebacker. 

The Steelers now have six of their eight draft picks under contract after fifth-round tight end Jesse James came to terms earlier Thursday.

Third-round receiver Sammie Coates and seventh-rounder Gerod Holliman are the last two rookies waiting to sign on the dotted line.
