Pavia Signs with Ravens, Skips Rookie Camp

0:00It's April 28th. This is Birmingham News Today, powered by AI. The Eagle Pavia, the former Vanderbilt quarterback and runner-up for the 2025 Heisman Trophy, just landed a three-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. After going undrafted in this past weekend's NFL draft, he's now on their 90-man offseason roster instead of hitting a tri-out camp. Earlier this week, reports flipped the script on his plans. He got the invite to the Ravens rookie camp at first, but multiple sources say he signed right away, skipping that step altogether. Fans and analysts are buzzing about this move for the young signal caller. Coming from Vanderbilt, where he balled out, Pavia brings that underdog fire, and Ravens brass clearly see potential in his arm and smarts. That said, nothing's locked in yet. Like most undrafted free agents, he snagged the modest signing bonus in the low five figures, but the rest of his pay isn't guaranteed. He's got a battle. Some are training camp to stick on the 53-man squad. Keep an eye on Pavia as he grinds for that roster spot.
