Ravens Sign Veteran QB as Diego Pavia's Roster Fight Tightens

The undrafted Heisman runner-up now competes in a five-quarterback room on a deal with no guarantees.

Overview

  • Baltimore, which signed veteran Skylar Thompson on Monday, now has five quarterbacks as Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley hold the top two spots.
  • Pavia joined the Ravens on a three-year undrafted deal with no guarantees, making it a low-cost tryout for the team.
  • During Saturday’s rookie minicamp session, he split reps with Joe Fagnano and tryout Billy Atkins and threw mostly in individual drills.
  • Head coach Jesse Minter told him to "show us what you can do" and cast the move as a developmental look that must be earned.
  • He was the first Heisman finalist in about a decade to go undrafted as teams questioned his 5-foot-10 size, arm mechanics, age, and past social-media behavior.
