The new additions entered the league in various ways, from first-round draft picks to undrafted free agents.
Jones was the highest-selected player, going 15th overall to the New England Patriots in 2021. Grant followed as a second-round pick for the Atlanta Falcons that same year, while Robinson (Kansas City Chiefs, 2016), Neal (Buffalo Bills, 2018), Brown (Seattle Seahawks, 2021), Farrell (Jacksonville Jaguars, 2021) and Pinnock (New York Jets, 2021) all heard their names called in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft.
Meanwhile, Gifford and Weeks took the undrafted route—Gifford signing to the Dallas Cowboys in 2019 and Weeks beginning his career with the Houston Texans in 2010.
