Undrafted Pavia Signs with Ravens, Eyes QB Spot

0:00On April 28, Diego Pavia, the Heisman finalist from Vanderbilt, just signed a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens ahead of rookie minicam. This undrafted quarterback gets his shot after going overlooked in the draft, despite being a top prospect in his class. He started on a tryout invite, but Ravens' GM Eric DeCosta locked him in before camp even began. Pavia led Vanderbilt to their first 10 win season ever, setting school records with 3,539 passing yards and 29 touchdowns. Scouts passed on him partly because he's listed at 6 feet, but measured 5 feet 9 and 7 8 inches at the combine. The shortest could be there. At 24 years old, with a college career starting back in 2020, his age didn't help either. His bowl personality stirs debate too, some see confidence, others' arrogance. After finishing second in Heisman voting, he posted some heated social media stuff and partied near an anti-Indiana sign, later apologizing for it.

1:01Now Pavia joins a Raven squad, then at quarterback, with Jess Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on the roster. He can learn from a two-time MVP, while fighting to make the team, under new coordinator, Jessi Mentor. That wraps NFL news today. Brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
