So he thought signing free agents was going to be like recruiting guys.

No.  Again, no.  What he's talking about is the NFL pandemic-related rules that keep coaches from meeting free agents.  Don't you remember, every year in the past, free agents come to town, we wine and dine them, and they either sign a contract or they go to the next city?  Don't you remember that?  It has nothing to do with college recruiting.  He's talking about the fact that right now, NFL coaches cannot meet with free agents.  And I imagine every other NFL coach feels the same way he does.

Another swing and a miss. From the article directly: "Teams are allowed to contact the agents of players who will become free agents only during the two-day period before the league year officially begins. Because that's when most of the deals are struck"
