Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, but Pat McAfee believes he has a bright future ahead. The former NFL punter praised Pavia on social media, calling him 'just an absolute sensation.' Despite being invited to the Ravens' rookie minicamp, McAfee hinted that Pavia may find success elsewhere.
McAfee noted that Pavia's size, speed, and style of play may have been both his strengths and weaknesses in college, but could be a perfect fit for the United Football League (UFL). He suggested that Pavia could be the UFL's quarterback blueprint, with his recognizable name and willingness to promote the league.
The news received mixed reactions from fans on social media, with some touting Pavia as a great fit for the UFL and others criticizing his undrafted status. However, McAfee's fans rallied behind his theory, agreeing that it's an opportune time for Pavia to showcase his skills.
