Diego Pavia to throw at the NFL combine, betting big despite size concerns
- On Friday, quarterback Diego Pavia, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, said he will throw passes at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, with quarterback drills set for Saturday.
- Pavia will skip extra on-field drills and wait for Vanderbilt pro day on March 18, viewed as a later-round prospect due to measuring just less than 5-foot-10.
- Vanderbilt's turnaround spotlighted Pavia's production and visibility as he helped lift the team into AP poll consideration last season, despite off-field maturity questions after his social media outburst last year.
- Now he hopes to transfer that play to the NFL, making his combine throws and Vanderbilt pro day consequential for his draft stock, while Fernando Mendoza plans to wait until his pro day on April 1 to throw passes.
- Pavia emphasizes his cerebral approach, saying `I'm humble, and I get my confidence from my process.` He adds, `I feel like I'm a fast processor,` shaping how evaluators and scouts see him.
