US EditionHow Tall Did Diego Pavia Measure at Senior Bowl? What to Know About Vanderbilt QB
Diego Pavia's official Senior Bowl height of 5-foot-9 7/8 contrasts with Vanderbilt's 6-foot listing, raising concerns about his NFL draft prospects despite top college honors.
- On Monday, Jan. 26, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia checked in at the Panini Senior Bowl at 5-foot-9 7/8 and 198 pounds, below Vanderbilt roster listing of 6-foot, 207.
- The Panini Senior Bowl released official heights and weights this year in Mobile, with practices Tuesday–Thursday at Hancock Whitney Stadium and the game set for Jan. 31.
- Pavia had his best season in 2025, posting a 70.6% completion rate and 3,539 passing yards with 29 touchdowns while leading Vanderbilt to a 10-3 record and major honors.
- NFL scouts will closely evaluate Pavia during Senior Bowl practices and game this week in Mobile, but he remains projected as a late-round pick or could go undrafted due to size concerns.
- This measurement highlights a broader listing-versus-measure discrepancy, as teams commonly inflate sizes and only a few quarterbacks under 5-foot-9 were drafted decades ago, making Diego Pavia historically rare at 198 pounds.
