CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Panthers have signed wide receiver D.J. Moore, their first-round draft pick.

All eight of Carolina's draft picks are now under contract.

Terms of the deal were not announced Monday.

Moore was selected by Carolina with the 24th overall pick.

He set a Maryland single-season school record with 80 receptions last season despite playing with four different quarterbacks because of injuries. He also had 1,033 yards receiving and eight touchdowns.

Moore is expected to compete with Torrey Smith for a starting spot at wide receiver opposite No. 1 receiver Devin Funchess.
