Undrafted Pavia Eyes Ravens Camp, NFL Dream

0:00It's April 28th, you're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Diego Pavia, the high-smotrophy finalist from Vanderbilt, went undrafted in the 2026 NFL draft, marking the first time that's happened to. A finalist since 2014. But he's not giving up on his pro dreams just yet. He's headed to the Baltimore Raven's rookie minicamp as a priority invite, giving him a real shot to impress. Word from ESPN's Adam Schefter is that multiple teams have their eyes on him too. The Raven's camp kicks off this weekend, but if they don't lock him in, other squads with minicamps next weekend are ready to bring him aboard. Pavia's got options lined up, keeping his path wide open. Fans and scouts love his grit, even if his size isn't the NFL ideal. In his senior year, he lit it up, completing 70.6% of his passes for 3,539 yards, 29, touchdowns, and just 8 picks. He also ran for 862 yards and 10 more scores, proving he's a dual-thread dynamo.

1:05The Raven's setup blitzed perfect for him right now, with fresh coaching blood and the Mar Jackson leading the QB room. Pavia could soak up that knowledge and sharpen his game in a competitive spot. Meanwhile, doors stay cracked in leagues like the CFL or UFL if the NFL route hits a snag. Keep watching this kid, he's got the fire to turn heads wherever he steps up next.
