Payne, 20, was taken with the No. 13 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft by the Redskins. According to OverTheCap.com, he receives an $14,470,746 contract that includes an $8,604,180 signing bonus.

The contract includes a fifth-year option for the Redskins to pick up in 2021. It’s worth mentioning that the fifth-year option is only guaranteed for injury and won’t prevent the two parties from working on a long-term extension.

During his three-year college career at Alabama, Payne recorded 102 total tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, five pass defenses, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, and scored one defensive touchdown.
