“My Journey Is Not Done”: Diego Pavia Drops Update on Life After NFL Rejection as Heisman Finalist Prepares for UFL

Former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia announced plans to play in the United Football League following his release from the NFL. Speaking on Darius Sanders' YouTube channel, Pavia stated that his journey is not finished and that he intends to enter the spring league while supporting other athletes. The Baltimore Ravens initially signed Pavia to a three-year contract before waiving him in July, opening the path for his transition to the UFL.

UFL owner Mike Repole expressed immediate interest in signing and starting the former Heisman finalist. Analysts and fellow players, including Pat McAfee and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci, noted that joining the UFL provides a prime opportunity for Pavia to showcase his abilities and draw major viewership to the league.
