Summary
Diego Pavia, a Vanderbilt quarterback and 2025 Heisman Trophy finalist, went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite his historic two-year run with the Commodores, Pavia’s off-field antics and limited physical tools made it hard for NFL teams to use a high pick on him. He will now have to find a home as an undrafted free agent or pursue a career in the UFL or CFL.
