Overview
- Diego Pavia, who visited the Panthers on Tuesday, April 7, drew a pre-draft look in Charlotte, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
- After Tuesday’s viral comment about having no agent, his representative Malki Kawa said Wednesday he handles Pavia’s NFL dealings and that the remark referred to past NIL talks.
- Carolina has Bryce Young as starter and added Kenny Pickett in March, so Pavia fits as a low-cost depth play behind an established quarterback room.
- Pavia earned 2025 SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors with 3,539 passing yards and 39 total touchdowns, yet teams flag his 5-foot-9⅞ height and age 24 as draft risks.
- Analysts note teams sometimes use visits to gather insights on a prospect’s teammates, and Pavia frequently targeted tight end Eli Stowers, a possible draft option for Carolina.
