The New England Patriots officially signed former CFL offensive lineman Drew Desjarlais to a futures contract on Thursday, according to the NFL transaction wire.
Desjarlais had visited the organization on Wednesday after his release from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The 24-year-old previously was in Foxborough on Jan. 3 for a workout, and had upwards of a dozen scheduled around the league.
Selected in the first round of the 2019 CFL draft at No. 4 overall, Desjarlais appeared in 32 games across two seasons with the Blue Bombers while winning consecutive Grey Cups.
