Diego Pavia needed only one team to like him enough as a quarterback to give him a shot at sticking on an NFL roster after going undrafted. Now, the Heisman Trophy finalist from Vanderbilt needs to do a lot more to make the final roster in 2026. Pavia has cleared the first hurdle. Instead of needing to try out for the Ravens during their upcoming rookie minicamp, he signed a three-year contract with the team on Tuesday, three days after the draft. Although Pavia is the polarizing headlining pa ser, the team also gave a three-year deal to another QB invited to the Combine, former Rutgers starter Joe Fagnano. The Ravens now have much more depth behind two-time MVP Lamar Jackson What are Pavias chances of making the teams final roster? Heres a breakdown of his initial obstacles in Baltimore.

But after disappointment from former No. 2 Cooper Rush, the Ravens have brought back Tyler "Snoop" Huntley to be Jackson's top understudy, a role he had from 2020-'23. For now, Pavia and Fangnano should be considered co-developmental No. 3s. Rank QB 1 Lamar Jackson 2 Tyler Huntley Co-No. 3 Diego Pavia /Joe Fagnano How Diego Pavia's skill set fits with the Ravens The Ravens new offense under Declan Doyle should again be rooted in the running game, much like Todd Monkens scheme. Baltimore also wants to open up the downfield pa sing game a bit more for Lamar Jackson and reloaded in the draft with big-bodied wide receivers and athletic tight ends. Doyle came from the , where he worked with Caleb Williams. There should be more pocket-pa sing concepts while still making good use of athletic quarterbacks.

MORE: How Diego Pavia compares to Joe Fagnano Fagnano isn't a better athlete than Pavia and won't offer much of a running element behind Jackson and Huntley. But he has prototypical size for the pocket at 6-3, 226 pounds with better intangibles, experience and decision-making. He also needs to show improved arm strength and accuracy to be carried by the Ravens. Fagnano has natural skills that can be developed but he hasn't had the same high-profile moments.

There's an uphill battle, but Pavia can make the final cut or stay on the practice squad over Fagnano but Pavia needs to play with the bigger chip on shoulder to win the competition for further time in the NFL.
