BJ Ojulari, former LSU LB, signs 4-year rookie contract with Arizona Cardinals

BJ Ojulari is ready to officially begin his NFL career after the former LSU star has signed a new contract with the Arizona Cardinals. He was originally drafted in the second round, 41st overall.

“Waiting the time to sign my contract, I’m feeling all the same emotions, like I’ve been drafted all over again,” Ojulari said.

Ojulari has missed time this offseason because of a hamstring injury. But he remains optimistic he can still get up to speed and make an impact as a rookie.

“I understand it’s a process,” Ojulari said. “The coaches and the staff have a plan for me. I can just do what I can control and do my best to get back to 100 percent so I get can get back on that field and show them what I can really do.”

In 3 seasons and 31 games at LSU, Ojulari had 16.5 sacks and 25.5 tackles for loss.
