Wait so the natioonal media is out here writing stories defending Diego Pavia going undrafted like that's some kind of shock. The guy was a fun story at Vanderbilt but let's be real about what he actually is. A 5'11 QB who relied on scrambling and gimmick concepts in a system that nobody runs at the next level. That's not an NFL prospect that's a college football legend. There is a difference. But you know what actually gets me about all this draft coverage. Every single clip from the SEC draft specials is talking about those punishing edge rushers and flashy pass catchers getting their names called. Nobody mentions that half those guys played against defenses that look like sieve screens all season. We see the same thing in the MIAA every year. Our DBs and linebackers fly around and make plays and then get completely ignored because we don't have the ESPN branding. The real story nobody wants to write is that the gap between the Power Four and everybody else is getting. Those SEC guys getting drafted in round two are gonna great situations because they faced NFL caliber competition every week. Meanwhile our guys are sitting here grinding at Yager Stadium with no cameras and no hype and still producing ballers that stick on rosters. Pavia will land somewhere as a UDFA and probably carve out a camp roster spot for a year or two. But let's stop pretending the draft snub narrative is anything other than what it is. He is a system QB who overachieved in college. Respect the journey but don't confuse it with NFL readiness.
