Fourth round Denver Broncos draft pick and former Utah running back Devontae Booker signed his rookie contract Friday.

The four-year deal is worth $2.72 million with a $383,392 signing bonus, according to spotrac.com.

Booker, who is still recovering from a torn meniscus suffered with the Utes last season, is limited on the field, but is expected to fully participate in practices by June, according to denverbroncos.com.
