The Steelers have their entire of draft class under contract.

The team announced this afternoon that third-rounder Justin Layne had signed his four-year rookie deal.

The defensive back from Michigan State was the last of their picks to sign.

Layne’s also making an important transition, after growing up a Browns fan and transferring his allegiance upon being drafted. And now that he has a contract, he can afford new socks.
