One of the fastest wide receivers at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine has signed his rookie deal with Kansas City.

Georgia’s Chris Conley, whom the Chiefs traded up to select in Round Three, has finalized his four-year contract with the club, per the NFL’s Thursday personnel notice.

Conley (6-2, 213) was clocked at 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the Combine, which tied for third-fastest among wide receivers. He also led all receivers in the vertical leap (45 inches) and broad jump (11 feet, seven inches).

On the field, Conley hauled in 117 passes for 1,938 yards and 20 TDs in four seasons with the Bulldogs, including 36-657-8 as a senior in 2014. Off the field, he may be most famous for creating “Retribution,” a Star Wars fan film with more than 510,000 views on YouTube. In Kansas City, Conley will compete for time in a receiving corps with a new go-to target in Jeremy Maclin.
