The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> don\u2019t need to see a tryout from undrafted Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia \u2014 they\u2019re giving him a contract.<\/p>\n

The polarizing Heisman Trophy runner-up reportedly inked a three-yeal deal with the Ravens, according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter. He was scheduled to try out for the team this weekend, but Baltimore is signing him in advance.<\/p>\n

Of course, two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson<\/a> remains the team\u2019s starter entering the 2026 season and beyond. However, they only had Tyler “Snoop” Huntley on the roster before the deal for Pavia, who made unfortunate draft history this past weekend.<\/p>\n

Pavia was not expecting to go undrafted this weekend, but he became the first Heisman Trophy finalist since 2014 to not hear his name called through seven rounds in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

Now, he gets an opportunity to not just show the Ravens what he\u2019s got, but develop under the three-year deal.<\/p>\n

DIEGO PAVIA’S STRIP CLUB VISIT ADDS TO DRAMA SURROUNDING QB AHEAD OF NFL TRYOUT WITH RAVENS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Pavia was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm for best upperclassman quarterback after throwing for 3,539 passing yards and 29 touchdowns, both of which are single-season school records, to give the Commodores their first-ever 10-win season.<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt just missed out<\/a>\u00a0on the College Football Playoff after finishing 10-3.<\/p>\n

Pavia ultimately finished second in Heisman voting to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza \u2014 the No. 1 overall pick in this year\u2019s draft by the Las Vegas Raiders. So, what ultimately led to Pavia not getting drafted?<\/p>\n

While his personality may have factored in, Pavia\u2019s official height at the NFL Scouting Combine turned some heads. Vanderbilt had him listed at 6-foot, but he measured at 5 feet, 9 7\/8 inches, which would make him the shortest quarterback in the NFL if he were to step foot on the gridiron today. The average height is 6-foot-2 for an NFL quarterback.<\/p>\n

However, those shorter than the average have seen success, including Minnesota Vikings’ newest member,\u00a0Kyler Murray<\/a>, who went first overall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 coming out of Oklahoma. He\u2019s listed at 5 feet, 10 inches.<\/p>\n

Pavia barked back at critics during the Senior Bowl in January regarding his height.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, my size has been doubted my whole life,” he said at the time,\u00a0via\u00a0<\/a>AL.com<\/a>. “I feel like the only thing the NFL cares about is can you win, and I view myself as a winner. I\u2019ve been fortunate with all these great teams that I\u2019ve had \u2014 we\u2019ve never had a losing season. So that\u2019s something to look forward to, I hope, for the rest of my career, that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n

“I feel like God has blessed me in so many ways to be a connector, and I feel like that\u2019s one of my superpowers that I\u2019ve got \u2014 I can connect. We unite, and then once you unite, you want to play for one another, and once you give 120% effort, there\u2019s no one that can stop your team.”<\/p>\n

Pavia\u2019s personality, viewed by some as more cocky than confident, may have played a factor as well. After finishing runner-up to Mendoza in Heisman voting, Pavia was spotted at a New York City nightclub next to a sign that read, “F— Indiana.” Then, he posted on social media a photo with friends and a caption that read, “F— ALL THE VOTERS, BUT\u2026FAMILY FOR LIFE.”<\/p>\n

Pavia later apologized for<\/a>\u00a0his decision to post that on his socials.<\/p>\n

Ravens rookie minicamp is scheduled to begin on Friday and run through the weekend with all the team\u2019s draft picks, undrafted free agents and tryout players.<\/p>\n
