Diego Pavia contract details: Why Ravens signed Vanderbilt QB to surprising three-year deal

After becoming the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted since 2014 (Jordan Pryor), Diego Pavia was signed by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.

The Vanderbilt quarterback likely dropped through the draft due to his height and character concerns, with not participating in many events also likely a factor, and was forced to be labeled an undrafted free agent.

Now, he just inked a three-year deal to join Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
