A second Bengals draft pick has signed his contract with the club.

Auburn tight end C.J. Uzomah, a fifth-round choice, finalized his deal with Cincinnati on Thursday, the team said.

Uzomah (6-5, 264) is one of four rookies the Bengals have added at tight end, including third-round pick Tyler Kroft of Rutgers. Uzomah caught 11 passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Tigers.

The Bengals have seven unsigned draft selections. Fresno State safety Derron Smith (Round Six) was the first pick to sign.
