Ravens cut rookie QB Diego Pavia before start of training camp
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Diego Pavia, the 2025 Heisman Trophy runner-up, was waived by the Baltimore Ravens 83 days after signing as an undrafted free agent, just before rookies reported to training camp.
- Pavia competed for the third quarterback spot behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley but faced tough competition and likely would have been relegated to the practice squad.
- Despite impressive college stats and records at Vanderbilt, Pavia's smaller size and off-field controversies may hinder his NFL prospects.
- Potential next steps for Pavia include joining the New York Jets' weak quarterback room, playing in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, or competing in the United Football League for more playing time.
- If football opportunities do not materialize, Pavia could leverage his large social media following and entertainment connections to pursue a career in podcasting and social media.
