Diego Pavia's NFL dream has hit another roadblock. After going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, Pavia has now reportedly been cut by the Baltimore Ravens, ending his first opportunity to stick with an NFL roster.
Despite a standout college career, questions followed Pavia throughout the pre-draft process. The biggest concern for NFL teams was his height, with many scouts wondering whether he could consistently succeed from the pocket at the professional level. Those concerns likely played a major role in him going undrafted.
Pavia also drew unwanted attention after losing the Heisman Trophy. Frustrated by the result, he took to social media and posted, "F--- ALL THE VOTERS." While the message quickly went viral, it also raised questions about his maturity during one of the most important evaluation periods of his career. He was also seen in a nightclub with a similar message on the bottle service sign.
Now, after being released, Pavia faces an even steeper climb to reach the NFL. Between concerns over his measurables and the controversy surrounding his social media post, the former college star will once again be searching for an opportunity to prove he belongs at the next level. Not many teams want to deal with an undrafted player who has the potential to create headlines in a negative way.
