Ravens Give Undrafted QB Diego Pavia a Real Shot at Mini-Camp

Baltimore invited undrafted quarterback Diego Pavia to rookie minicamp to earn a roster spot and will evaluate him against Joe Fagnano, with coach Jesse Minter saying, “show us what you can do.” Pavia, a two-year New Mexico State star who transferred to Vanderbilt and became the Commodores’ first Heisman finalist, is entering a competition the Ravens could carry three to five quarterbacks for, while also weighing veteran options (e.g., Heinicke, Tune, Dobbs) that could affect the outcome. The team is also sorting through roster questions at center and other spots as it heads toward training camp.

Undrafted Heisman finalist Pavia seeks a path to the Ravens' QB room

Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt star and Heisman runner-up, joined the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent and participated in rookie minicamp as a potential third quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. At 5-foot-10 and 24 years old, questions remain about his NFL prospects, but Ravens coach Jesse Minter says the team will let him prove himself; with a non-guaranteed three-year contract and uncertainty about roster spots, a veteran QB could still be added, and the camp will be a key early barometer.

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, a Heisman finalist who went undrafted after a strong 2025 season (3,539 passing yards, 29 TDs, 862 rushing yards, 10 rushing TDs), was spotted at an Albuquerque strip club on March 8, reportedly tossing cash on stage about six weeks before the draft.
