Steelers, Hood reach terms
Saturday, July 25, 2009

The Steelers today came to terms in principle on a five-year contract with first-round draft choice Ziggy Hood.

Monetary terms were unavailable. Hood, a defensive end from Missouri, will sign the contract later this week.

Hood is only the fourth first-round NFL draft pick to come to terms, and when he signs his agreement, the Steelers will have all of their nine draft choices under contract. All 80 players on their roster will be under contract as well.
