Diego Pavia's NFL Journey Kicks Off in Baltimore

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. Diego Pavia lit up college football over the past two seasons at Vanderbilt. He led a massive upset over Alabama, sparked a huge turnaround in the SEC, and captured with a 10-win season while snagging the Heisman trophy. But in a total shocker, he went undrafted in the NFL draft, and landed with the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent. Now fighting for a roster spot-in, their mini-camp. The Ravens already have Lamar Jackson locked in as the starter, and Tyler Huntley as his reliable backup for several years. That leaves no third quarterback on the depth chart right now, so Pavia's got a real shot to impress during this tri-out phase. Adam Schaefter broke it down on the Pat McAfee show, saying Pavia's probably bummed about missing the draft, but Baltimore's a powerhouse spot to land. He pointed out it's better to join the right team than worry about draft position, especially with their strong track record.

1:01Schaefter added that if the Ravens don't lock him up after mini-camp this weekend, Pavia's already got invites from a couple other teams holding, sessions, the following weekend. Pavia's keeping his head up, grinding in Baltimore for now, but with backup plans lined up, his pro-journey's just getting started on a high note.
