Diego Pavia
2026 NFL Draft Prospect
- Height: 5-10
- Weight: 207
- School: Vanderbilt
- Class: Senior
| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| A fierce competitor, he throws with velocity and force out of a modern arm slot. Good footwork and pocket presence when under pressure. Runs tough and is not afraid to break a tackle or run through a defender. | Pavia measured at just 5-foot 10-inches at the NFL Scouting Combine, and that still may not be as concerning as his off-the-field antics. He benefited from a quick-read scheme at Vanderbilt but will have a tough time seeing throwing lanes at the next level. |
OVERVIEW: Pavia is one of the toughest scouting assignments in recent memory. On one the hand, he has some of the most impressive results in college football these last two seasons. Results he achieved against SEC and high-level competition on a regular basis. On the other hand, his undersized build and brash personality may have taken him off draft boards entirely. However teams may feel about him, they can't deny the production and talent. Pavia is a gamer, but will he be worth the risk?
