Diego Pavia News: Inks UDFA deal with Baltimore
The Ravens signed Pavia as an undrafted free agent Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pavia was initially slated to try out during rookie minicamp with Baltimore this upcoming weekend first, but the Ravens jumped the gun to sign him. It's a standard three-year, entry-level deal that doesn't guarantee the Vanderbilt product a spot on the 53-man roster. Despite being a Heisman finalist, Pavia went undrafted in large part due to his 5-foot-10 height, advanced age (24 years old) and off-field character questions. However, while on the field last season, Pavia was first in the the SEC in completion percentage (70.6), yards per attempt (9.4) and touchdown passes (29), and he threw for 3,539 yards while rushing 167 times for 862 yards and 10 additional touchdowns.
