Tight end Levine Toilolo, a fourth-round draft pick, signed a four-year contract with the Falcons on Tuesday.

Toilolo, 6-8, 265 pounds, was selected 133rd overall in the 2013 draft.

He caught 50 passes for 763 yards (15.3 yards per catch) with 10 touchdowns in 31 career games at Stanford.

After the rookie minicamp, Toilolo said he looked forward to learning the pro game under future hall of famer Tony Gonzalez.

The Falcons have now signed five of their eight draft picks.

Cornerback Desmond Trufant (first round), cornerback Robert Alford (second round) and quarterback Sean Renfree (seventh round) are the remaining unsigned draft picks.
