Footage of Heisman Trophy runner-up Diego Pavia taking part in a Baltimore Ravens minicamp has gone viral as fans trash the former Vanderbilt quarterback.
Pavia, who starred at the college football level, was not selected in the 2026 NFL Draft by any of the 32 teams.
He eventually signed a professional contract with the Ravens after the draft ended, later coming to terms with the team on a three-year deal.
On Saturday, Pavia was seen going through the motions of his first ever minicamp as footage of him working on elementary snaps and handoffs was posted to social media.
But the video has gone viral due to Pavia’s slight frame and short stature compared to the center who was snapping him the ball.
In the comments under the video, fans roasted Pavia, who stands at 5-foot-10 for the noticeable height difference compared to his teammate.

‘Looks like a solid chunky middle school prospect,’ wrote one user on X.
Another said, ‘He’s so short! If he plays, they will have to have him on the move cause no way can he see above the OL!!!’
‘He’s taking under center snaps at chest level. This is incredible,’ another fan joked.
A similar comment read, ‘He’s out of the shotgun cuz he has to go on his tippy toes to take the snap under center.’
Despite the vicious roasting by trolls on social media, Pavia is still in open competition for the No. 3 quarterback job with the Ravens.
He’s battling with former UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano – another undrafted free agent who signed a deal with Baltimore.
New Ravens coach Jesse Minter was non-committal to Pavia, but said the chance is there for him to make an impact.
‘So now he’s in the door and it’s like, “Show us what you can do,”‘ Minter said Saturday (via ESPN). ‘And just like all the undrafted rookies, that’s what I would say.’
