Heisman Trophy runner-up Diego Pavia drew attention on social media this week after saying he did not have representation ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/a> But his agent offered some clarity Wednesday, suggesting Pavia handled his own affairs during college.<\/p>\n

Pavia made the comments during an appearance on Jon Gruden\u2019s Barstool Sports show, “Gruden\u2019s QB Class,”<\/u><\/a> while discussing his decision to return to Vanderbilt after the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

“Everyone had a quarterback in the SEC. So, there was nowhere where I \u2013 I mean, there was a few places that I could go, but I knew where I wanted to stay. And so, I told the GM, \u2018You guys kind of got me by the balls. You guys know [head coach Jerry Kill], [offensive coordinator Tim Beck] is here. You know, I’m coming back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“\u2018Let’s find a fair number that I could come back for.\u2019 And so, we worked it out,” Pavia added, speaking about a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former NFL coach Jon Gruden asked if Pavia had an agent, but he said he did not.<\/p>\n

“No, I’m representing myself. I didn’t think it was fair that someone was going to represent me and take 5 to 10%. Ain’t nobody taking my money. Tell you that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The shocking decision surprised many, but Pavia\u2019s agent posted on social media clarifying that the NFL prospect was speaking about his NIL negotiations, not his upcoming pro career.<\/p>\n

“Please stop the stupidity. He didn\u2019t have an NIL AGENT. I am his agent for the nfl,” Malki Kawa, founder and CEO of First Round MGMT, said in a post on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was announced in January on Pavia\u2019s Instagram that he had signed with Kawa\u2019s group ahead of the draft.<\/p>\n

Pavia was reportedly visiting with the Carolina Panthers<\/a> on Tuesday. He is predicted to be a late-round pick despite a standout season at Vanderbilt that saw him throw for 3,539 yards and 29 touchdowns with eight interceptions while adding 862 rushing yards and 10 scores.<\/p>\n
