Less than a week after being drafted, receiver Stephen Hill has reached agreement with the Jets on a four-year deal worth just under $5 million, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.

About $2.8 million is guaranteed, the person said.

The Jets traded up for Hill in the second round, selecting him No. 43 overall. Coach Rex Ryan said he expects the former Georgia Tech product to start.

Hill is a player with excellent size (6-foot-4) and speed (4.3 40-yard dash). His biggest challenge is transitioning from a college triple-option offense to the NFL.

"The biggest thing is going to be the amount of coverages that he sees, and those type of things, and how fast he can pick up our verbiage here because that will be different for him.," offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said. "But the good news is we spent a good amount of time with this player and doing our homework in the draft process. ... We had a good amount of time to spend with him, so we feel really comfortable there."

Hill is the first Jets draft pick to agree to a deal. The rookie wage scale makes it easier for teams to strike deals. Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery was the first drafted player to sign this week.
