Former Florida State wide receiver Rashad Greene became Monday the latest draft pick to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving only two of their eight selections from three weeks ago who are not yet under contract.
Greene, a fifth-round selection, holds the FSU career records for receptions (270), receiving yards (3,830) and consecutive games with at least one reception (43). As a junior in 2013, he became the first Seminole receiver to go over the 1,000-yard mark since Anquan Boldin in 2002.
"It really is a dream come true," Greene said in a statement from the Jaguars. "This is something that you've worked so hard for and to see it become a reality is really a blessing. God has put me in an incredible position and my family has supported me throughout this entire journey. That being said, this is only the beginning. I have a lot of work to do and I can't wait to get to work."
He wore No. 1 during the Jaguars' rookie minicamp but will now wear No. 13, a jersey which became available when they waived wide receiver Tommy Streeter.

Greene's signing means second-round pick T.J. Yeldon, a running back from Alabama), and third-round choice A.J. Cann, a guard from South Carolina, are the only selections not locked up by the Jaguars.
