Initially set to take part in a Ravens tryout at their weekend rookie minicamp, Diego Pavia<\/a><\/strong> has secured a UDFA deal ahead of that point. Baltimore is signing the undrafted quarterback Tuesday, ESPN.com\u2019s Adam Schefter tweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This will be a standard three-year UDFA contract. Pavia follows Jalon Daniels<\/a><\/strong> (Buccaneers<\/a>) and Haynes King<\/a><\/strong> (Panthers<\/a>) as QBs to find homes post-draft. The Vanderbilt quarterback finished second in the 2025 Heisman voting, completing a four-year career spent with the Commodores and at New Mexico State.<\/p>\n

The SEC Offensive Player of the Year led the conference with a 70.6% completion rate, 29 touchdown passes, and 9.4 yards per attempt in 2025. He finished second to No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza<\/a><\/strong> in Heisman voting, but as our Nikhil Mehta noted during the pre-draft process<\/a>, size is a major concern about his potential in the NFL. Listed as 6 feet tall in college, Pavia measured in at 5-foot-9 at the Combine.<\/p>\n

Transferring from New Mexico State in 2024, Pavia completed 59.4% of his passes in his first Vanderbilt season. That year did include a 20:4 TD-INT ratio while also featuring 801 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. The run game served as a key component for the undersized QB in college, as he gained 923 yards at New Mexico State in 2023 and 862 (to go with 10 TDs) in his Heisman runner-up season. Pavia\u2019s rushing ability certainly should appeal to a Ravens team that deploys the league\u2019s most dynamic quarterback as its starter.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has used Tyler Huntley<\/a><\/strong> as its backup for a chunk of Lamar Jackson<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s career, reacquiring him last year and re-signing him this offseason. Jackson and Huntley entered Tuesday as the only QBs on the Ravens\u2019 roster (Baltimore gave Huntley a two-year, $5MM deal coming with $3.5MM at signing<\/a>). That opens the door to a potential developmental backup, and it will be interesting to see if Pavia can make a case to land on Baltimore\u2019s 53-man roster or practice squad by summer\u2019s end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Initially set to take part in a Ravens tryout at their weekend rookie minicamp, Diego Pavia has secured…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":761016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[10],"tags":[532,3259,62,1650,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-761015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-diego-pavia","tag-sports","tag-transactions","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116487300175475308","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
