Solomon Thomas was the highest selected player from the 2017 NFL Draft to have not signed a contract. The Stanford defensive end holds that distinction no longer.
Thomas — the No. 3 overall pick of the San Francisco 49ers, officially signed with the team on Friday morning. General manager John Lynch captured the moment.

With Thomas signing, only two picks from 2017 remain unsigned. The highest remaining pick is No. 5 overall selection, receiver Corey Davis, who’s yet to come to terms with the Tennessee Titans. The other is No. 24 pick, cornerback Gareon Conley, who has not yet reached an agreement with the Oakland Raiders.
