Overview
- Official Senior Bowl measurements listed the Vanderbilt quarterback at 5-foot-9 and 7/8 inches, a notable contrast to his 6-foot roster height.
- Pavia completed 10 of 13 passes for 78 yards in limited Senior Bowl action, with no touchdowns or interceptions and a credited forced fumble.
- Historical data indicate he would be the NFL’s shortest quarterback since the 1960s if he makes a roster, measuring slightly shorter than Bryce Young and Kyler Murray.
- Coming off an SEC Offensive Player of the Year season and a Heisman runner-up finish, Pavia has downplayed size concerns and emphasized his record as a winner.
- Scouts now turn to the NFL Combine, pro day workouts and medicals in the weeks ahead to refine his draft projection in light of the new measurement.
