Because of his spot in the draft, Sanu's contract is expected to include a signing bonus of $563,252.
The 6-foot-1, 211-pound Sanu posted a monster junior season at Rutgers, catching 115 passes for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns. Over his three-year college career, Sanu caught 210 balls for 2,263 yards and 12 touchdowns. With size strength and a little bit of speed, he is expected to compete immediately for a starting spot with the Bengals.
