0:00It's April 26th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. Diego Pavia went undrafted in this year's NFL Draft. And to get why, you gotta look back at Tim Tibo's story from over a decade ago. Tibo lit up the playoffs for the Denver Broncos, but after that, team shied away from signing him as a backup. The issue? He drew massive attention everywhere he went, turning every practice into a media circus. And NFL teams hate back-a-quarterbacks who steal the spotlight from the starter. Questions like, why is he playing, or what's the starter think of him, just create drama nobody wants? Shedore Sanders faced a similar slide last year, dropping to the fifth round because his fame made him a headache for any ventral. Pavia, being shorter, with real on-field doubts, fell even further, right out of the draft. This pattern keeps repeating for hide quarterbacks, who might only back up. Pavia's the latest case, and teams now weigh if his buzz is worth the risk.

1:03On a practice squad, Saini.
