Wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, the Patriots' seventh-round draft choice out of Northwestern, has signed a four-year contract with the team, a source confirms.

Ebert becomes the second of seven Patriots draft choices to sign a contract. Second-round pick Tavon Wilson, the defensive back from Illinois, was the first.

Ebert was selected 235th overall, which was the Patriots' final selection of the draft. He was productive in his final two seasons at Northwestern, with 62 catches in 2010 and 75 receptions in 2011. He is a potential slot receiver in the Patriots' scheme.

Aaron Wilson of Scout.com reported that Ebert's deal has a maximum value of $2.148 million.
