They finalized rookie deals for first-round picks wide receiver Justin Jefferson and cornerback Jeff Gladney along with 12 others on Thursday.

Seventh-round quarterback Nate Stanley signed earlier this summer.

The 15 selections were the most in the NFL since the draft was shortened to seven rounds in 1994.
