After signing Jameis Winston the day they drafted him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now signed a second draft pick: six-rounder Kaelin Clay, who played his college football at Mt. San Antonio Junior College and Utah.
The Bucs expect Clay to take hold of the job of return specialist, which is where he made his money tuition in college. He managed three punt return touchdowns on just 23 punts, and another kick return touchdown on 22 kickoff returns. Those are some pretty expressive numbers, and he's certainly an explosive player -- but his size (5'10", 195 lbs.) and lack of consistency will probably limit him on offense.
Who is this apparently signing his 1st NFL contract? Why it's 6th-rd pick WR Kaelin Clay. Should hear about that soon pic.twitter.com/8HBVP1oik9

Over The Cap doesn't have estimates for rookie contracts, as they took a substantial jump from last year, but sixth-round picks generally sign minimum-salary contracts with a minimal signing bonus. Kendall James, the player drafted at Clay's spot last year, received a $113,452 signing bonus with his four-year contract.
Contract negotiations for draft picks are mostly a formality these days, so expect the Bucs to get everyone else under contract over the next couple of day as well.
