Diego Pavia has an NFL team.

He has accepted a rookie minicamp invite with the Baltimore Ravens after not being selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.

That's all well and good, but what now?

The next step for Pavia is to go out and play well at minicamp, hopefully earn a contract for the rest of the summer, and perform as best he can in training camp and the preseason.

From there, he'll seek a spot on the 53-man roster, or at least the practice squad.

And with Baltimore, there's a real chance.

Can Diego Pavia make the Ravens' roster?

Yes, there's a real chance here.

The top-two spots on the Baltimore QB depth chart are spoken for: Lamar Jackson backed up by Tyler Huntley.

Beyond that, though, the Ravens didn't have another quarterback before the draft.

They didn't draft one, either.

Afterward, they signed Joe Fagnano out of UConn to a traditional undrafted free agent contract.

And now they've added Pavia on this minicamp deal.

Pavia's first step will be to outplay Fagnano at minicamp, or at least stay even with him. That should earn him an opportunity the rest of the summer.
