That didn't take long. Moments after the final pick of the NFL Draft was announced, former Rutgers linebacker Kevin Snyder signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent.

Snyder will be joined in Detroit by former Rutgers teammate Michael Burton, who was picked by the Lions in the fifth round of the draft. Snyder's agent John Hernandez informed NJ Advance Media of the signing.

The versatile Snyder played all three linebacker positions during his Rutgers career. He appeared in 51-of-52 career games, although he was hobbled by a turf toe injury for most of his senior season.

The 6-foot-3, 235-pound Mechanicsburg, Pa., native finished fourth on the team with 63 tackles despite playing through the toe injury for the final 10 games.

Snyder was healthy for Rutgers' pro day in March and showed what he could do by posting impressive scores across the board, especially a 4.54-second 40-yard dash. Snyder's ability to long-snap will also boost his odds of landing a roster spot.

Snyder, who moved to middle linebacker as a senior, was widely regarded as having the highest football IQ on Rutgers' team. In 2013, Snyder started 13 games at weak side linebacker in Rutgers' 4-3 scheme and finished second on the team with 96 tackles.

An economics major who was named to the Academic All-Big Ten in the fall, Snyder gained a reputation as one of the most accountable players on the team.
