JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed two more draft picks, getting deals done with safety James Sample and receiver Neal Sterling.

Both signed their rookie contracts Wednesday, one day after first-round pick Dante Fowler Jr. The Jaguars have five players left unsigned.

Sample was a fourth-round pick, the 104th overall selection. Sterling was a seventh-rounder, going 220th overall.

Sample will compete for the starting free safety job with free-agent addition Sergio Brown. Sample began his college career at Washington, transferred to American River College and played his final season at Louisville.
