Overview
- Senior Bowl officials recorded Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia at 5-foot-9 and 7/8 inches, contradicting his 6-foot college listing.
- Pavia’s height would make him the NFL’s shortest quarterback since the 1960s if he earns a roster spot, according to historical records.
- He completed 10 of 13 passes for 78 yards in the Senior Bowl, avoiding turnovers and flashing on-the-move accuracy.
- Pavia has pushed back on size concerns, saying he brings everything to the table except height and calling himself the best player in the country.
- Teams now pivot to the combine, pro days and interviews to determine how his measurement affects his draft projection.
