The dream to play in the NFL continued after the 2021 draft with free agent signings across the league; well, all except for the New England Patriots. While most teams picked up a handful or so of free agent signees, Denver (11), Los Angeles Chargers (18), Detroit (12), and Atlanta (16) sought out top former college players to fill gaps on the roster not found during the three-day event.
The following is a complete list of every NFL free agent signee to date with a nod to those former RNG interviewees continuing their journey.
