The Tennessee Titans signed third-round Sย Kevin Byard to a four-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport.ย
The Titans have now officially locked up their entire 2016 draft class following this move.
Byard, 22, was selected with theย No. 64 overall pick by the Titans over a month ago. Byard still managed to get drafted pretty high, despite not receiving an invite to the Scouting Combine.

During his college career at Middle Tennessee State, Byard recorded 318 tackles, six tackles for a loss, 19 interceptions with two being returned for touchdowns, three forced fumbles, one recovery and 15 pass defenses.
