Pavia Visits Panthers: Another Small‑Framed QB in the Mix

The Carolina Panthers hosted Vanderbilt star Diego Pavia, a 5’10” quarterback who earned SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2025. Pavia’s visit follows the team’s recent focus on small‑framed quarterbacks, with Bryce Young also standing at 5’10”. While Pavia has shown on‑field talent, off‑field controversies have drawn criticism. If the Panthers are willing to draft him, the franchise could become one of the shortest QB rooms in NFL history.
