NFL Draft 2021 undrafted free agents tracker: Why have the Patriots not signed any rookie free agents so far?

The New England Patriots have had multiple success stories come out of undrafted free agency over the years. From cornerbacks Malcolm Butler, Jonathan Jones, J.C. Jackson and Randall Gay, to starting center David Andrews, to core special teamers Brandon King and Brandon Bolden, New England has repeatedly been able to find diamonds in the rough.

This year, however, it seems as if the club has looked at the rookie free agent market and simply said, “Nah, we’re good.”

More than 30 hours after the end of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Patriots have yet to sign any undrafted players — making them the only team in the league to not pick up at least one UDFA.
