Pavia was a winner at Vandy. A POS yes but he still won. He has excellent leader qualities, that’s undeniable. Reminds me of Tebow in a way. Of course we don’t want anything good for him because he beat us but cannot deny what he did.

Hating Tebow is par for the course as a Vol, but he is spending his life helping children. I don’t expect to to see that from Pavia. Tebow’s character defines him in way that Pavia will never understand.

Oh yeah, that situation is TOXIC. NFL teams watched that on prime time. No way.

I said it helped. The fact is most experts did not think he was good enough to be an NFL QB. And with his TOXIC personality, nobody wanted to take a chance of adding potential locker room trouble. He got what he deserved! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

The height’s a huge issue for almost everyone. He measured in around like 5’ 9”.

5’9 &7/8” officially. So 5’10”. Exactly 2/8ths of an inch different than Kyler Murray and Bryce Young, and half an inch shorter than Russell Wilson. All active or recent starters in the NFL.

That’s not at all why he won’t make it in the NFL. It’s 100% his lack of an NFL arm and his personality defects. His 40 time was also not exceptional. Without question, it was his instincts, playmaking ability and having an offense tailored to him, that contributed to his success. For the NFL, he is Johnny Manziel light.

So far he's still hasn't signed anywhere as a UDFA to my knowledge. Even Joey has signed with a team.
Pavia still played in the SEC and put Vandy in sports new cycles and Heisman runner up. I still think someone would've throw away a pick on him one of the last two rounds if he was a likeable person.

USFL will take him.

Vandy was a completely beatable team, especially in Knoxville. Hence why we immediately fired our DC.

losing to Vanderbilt is a personal moral failure and gross negligence and incompetence.

Vandy wasn't the only team to beat us in Neyland and Vandy wasn't Vandy of the past.
Banks should've been fired before last season. 2024 bought him an extra year instead of being fired

No comparison to Tebow please! Tebow has character and Pavia is a character.

LOL, Pavia wishes he had the college career of Tebow.

Dude will be selling used cars in the future.

What's the clique cliche? "only a fool represents himself"

When former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia appeared on Jon Gruden's QB Camp series in the weeks preceding the draft, Pavia made it clear that he's entering the NFL without an agent.

"I’m representing myself," Pavia said. "I didn't think it was fair that someone was gonna represent me and take five to 10 percent. . . . Ain't nobody taking my money. I'll tell you that."

Tebow has more integrity in his pinkie than Pavia has in his whole body.

This made my weekend 💪🏼

I wonder if an agent could've put lipstick on a pig an sold it?

Pavia is not an NFL QB. He could be a good CFL QB. He makes things happen at the moment most plays are getting ended. He is an outspoken idiot, but a lot of athletes are. Entitlement doesn't bring the best out in everyone.

outcome may have been the same but agents have NFL ties and could have advised him. Agents earn that fee

Should have reached out to one as soon as he saw where the mock drafts had him.

Beyond the well stated character issues, Pavia, IMO, has zero NFL QB qualities physically. IMO…he’s a poster child for undersized, quick, elusive COLLEGE QBs. Hard to imagine he being the face, leader, and key performer for ANY NFL Franchise.
