Overview
- The Ravens signed Diego Pavia to a three-year undrafted free-agent contract Tuesday, shifting him from a rookie minicamp invite to a roster spot.
- He enters a quarterback room headed by Lamar Jackson with Tyler Huntley as the backup, and he is expected to compete for a developmental third-quarterback job.
- Baltimore also signed UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano to a three-year deal Tuesday, a move UConn confirmed, creating direct competition for reps.
- Pavia went unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft, becoming the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted since 2014, after evaluators cited his 5-foot-10 size, arm profile, and a Heisman-night outburst he later apologized for.
- If he fails to stick in the NFL, coverage points to other paths, including CFL rights held by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and possible opportunities in the UFL.
