I<\/span>n just two seasons, Diego Pavia<\/strong> transformed from a mid-major prospect<\/strong> into one of college football’s biggest stories<\/strong>. The former Vanderbilt quarterback<\/strong> became a household name after leading a stunning upset over Alabama<\/strong>, powering the Commodores<\/strong> to a historic 10-win season<\/strong> in the SEC<\/strong>. <\/p>\n However, his NFL journey<\/strong> has taken an unexpected turn. In a surprising development, Pavia went undrafted in the NFL Draft<\/strong> before signing with the Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> as a priority undrafted free agent (UDFA)<\/strong>. Now, the former college football star<\/strong> faces a new challenge: earning a roster spot at rookie minicamp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Pavia joins a quarterback room<\/strong> led by Lamar Jackson<\/strong> and backed by Tyler Huntley<\/strong>. While the depth chart is top-heavy, there’s a clear opening for a QB3 role<\/strong>, giving Pavia a legitimate path to stick on the roster.<\/p>\n During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show<\/strong>, ESPN insider Adam Schefter<\/strong> explained why Baltimore could be an ideal landing spot:<\/p>\n “I’m sure he’s disappointed he didn’t get drafted, but this is a massive opportunity in Baltimore. The Ravens only have two quarterbacks on the roster… sometimes landing spot<\/strong> matters more than draft position<\/strong>. If he impresses, there’s a real roster opportunity<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n Even if things don’t work out immediately in Baltimore, Pavia’s NFL opportunities<\/strong> remain open. Schefter noted that multiple teams are monitoring the dual-threat quarterback<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Baltimore opportunity<\/h2>\n
