Bills Sign 5th Round OT Ed Wang

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reports the Buffalo Bills have signed fifth-round pick Ed Wang.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Chosen with the 140th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, Wang is the first full-blooded Chinese descendant to be drafted into the National Football League. The 6-5, 314-pound offensive tackle from Virginia Tech began his college career as a tight end, but injuries forced the Hokies to convert Wang to an offensive lineman.

Wang started 35 games at Virginia Tech, primarily working on the left side, and earned second-team All-ACC honors after his senior season. The son of Olympic athletes, Wang has exceptional athleticism, quick feet, and ideal size to eventually play left tackle in the National Football League. Still a bit raw, Wang could begin his NFL career on the right side of the Bills' offensive line.

Wang is the first of the nine players the Bills selected in the 2010 NFL Draft to sign a contract.
