Former UCF defensive back Tay Gowan agreed to a 4-year, $3.6 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
Gowan was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft with the No. 223 overall selection. He was among seven players selected by the Cardinals in this year’s draft.
“I’m still having to process it,” Gowan said on the team’s website. “I’ve been that kid since I was 5 years old wanting to go to the NFL. I just signed my first contract — not my last.”
The deal pays an average annual salary of $902,677 with $130,708 of the contract guaranteed, according to contract details obtained by Spotrac.
