NFL.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Pavia became the first Heisman Trophy finalist to go undrafted since 2014, not even signing as an undrafted free agent, only receiving an invitation to attend rookie camp.
- Despite his size at 5-foot-10 and concerns about a high-profile social media outburst, Pavia was a second-team All-American, SEC Offensive Player of the Year, and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner.
- Pavia is a dual-threat quarterback known for his competitiveness, accuracy on the move, and ability to excel in RPOs, with strong passing and rushing statistics over his last season at Vanderbilt.
- His main challenges for NFL transition include his smaller stature, limited vision without a moving pocket, lack of anticipation throws, and inconsistent deep ball accuracy.
- Pavia’s confidence and football intelligence stand out, but physical and technical limitations have raised doubts about his potential success at the professional level.
