Finalista do Heisman, Diego Pavia aceita convite para minicamp de novatos dos Ravens

O ex-quarterback de Vanderbilt, Diego Pavia, finalista do Troféu Heisman, recebeu um convite para um teste no minicamp de novatos do Baltimore Ravens após não ter sido selecionado no draft. O jogador, conhecido por seu estilo polarizador, liderou Vanderbilt em sua primeira temporada de 10 vitórias no ano passado. Pavia agora busca garantir uma vaga no elenco dos Ravens.

Diego Pavia tornou-se o primeiro finalista do Heisman a não ser selecionado no draft desde 2014. O vencedor do prêmio Johnny Unitas Golden Arm de 2025 estabeleceu recordes em uma única temporada por Vanderbilt com 3.539 jardas de passe e 29 touchdowns. Ele obteve uma média de 338,5 jardas de ataque total por jogo, classificando-se em segundo lugar no FBS, segundo Matt Zenitz da CBS Sports, que foi o primeiro a noticiar o convite dos Ravens para um período de testes. Vanderbilt o listava com 1,83m de altura, mas ele mediu 1,77m no NFL Scouting Combine — o mais baixo entre os atuais quarterbacks da NFL. Aos 24 anos, com uma carreira iniciada em 2020, Pavia enfrenta obstáculos adicionais de olheiros que interpretam sua autoconfiança como arrogância fora do vestiário. Em uma entrevista à CBS Sports, ele disse que as pessoas frequentemente confundem sua bravata com arrogância. Após terminar em segundo na votação do Heisman, atrás de Fernando Mendoza, Pavia chamou a atenção por uma foto em uma boate de Nova York perto de uma placa com os dizeres 'F--- Indiana' e uma postagem nas redes sociais com a legenda 'F--- TODOS OS VOTANTES, MAS ... FAMÍLIA PARA SEMPRE'. Ele se desculpou pela postagem posteriormente. Os Ravens, sob o comando do novo coordenador defensivo Jesse Minter, oferecem a Pavia a chance de aprender com o duas vezes MVP Lamar Jackson. Baltimore conta atualmente apenas com Jackson e Tyler Huntley na posição de quarterback.
