Mike Vrabel, Eliot Wolf and company didn’t rest once the New England Patriots made the very last pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Patriots attacked the undrafted free agent market and added 19 players to compete for a roster spot alongside their 11-player draft class.
Undrafted free agents have been a staple on New England’s roster for two decades now. David Andrews, Brandon Bolden, Jonathan Jones, Malcolm Butler and J.C. Jackson all found success with the Patriots going that route. Safety Dell Pettus made the squad last season as an undrafted free agent, carrying on a tradition in which the Patriots have had an undrafted free agent make the 53-man roster out of training camp in 20 out of the last 21 years.
