Former Wyoming defensive end Carl Granderson was projected to be picked in the later rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft, but he wasn’t selected. So the New Orleans Saints signed him after the draft, handing out the highest guaranteed base salary ($70,000) and signing bonus ($15,000) of any of their undrafted rookie deals.
Granderson likely went undrafted due to a looming sexual assault investigation. He’s been charged with one count of third-degree sexual assault and another count of sexual battery, per the Casper Star-Tribune. Granderson initially plead not guilty to those chargers and will go before a jury trail on July 15.
