Interestingly, Levis was not the first second-round pick due to a penalty imposed on the Miami Dolphins after violating league policies related to game integrity stemming from conversations with quarterback Tom Brady and Sean Payton’s agent.

Instead, the second round of last year’s draft began with pick 32 and saw the Pittsburgh Steelers select cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to open the second night. Porter numbers, provided by Spotracsaw him sign a four-year contract worth $9,618,345 ($2,404,586 AAV) and a signing bonus of $3,995,160.

Coleman’s deal will likely be somewhere in the neighborhood of Levis and Porter.
