Ravens Add Undrafted QBs Diego Pavia, Joe Fagnano Ahead of Minicamp
Baltimore Ravens have moved quickly to add depth to their quarterback room, signing undrafted quarterbacks Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano ahead of the team’s rookie minicamp scheduled for this weekend. The moves introduce fresh competition and a layer of intrigue to the team’s offseason preparations.
The signings were announced just days after the conclusion of the NFL Draft, where both players went unselected. According to reports, the Ravens wasted little time in extending offers to Pavia and Fagnano, aiming to bolster their roster with potential developmental talent before minicamp evaluations begin.
- Baltimore Ravens signed two undrafted quarterbacks: Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano
- Both players will participate in the upcoming rookie minicamp
- Pavia arrives with a reputation as a controversial but talented passer
Pavia, in particular, has drawn attention due to his controversial profile coming out of college. While the specific nature of the controversy was not detailed in the team’s announcement, his on-field abilities and off-field headlines have made him one of the more closely watched undrafted free agents this cycle. The New York Post highlighted Pavia’s status, noting that his signing comes amid ongoing discussions about his collegiate career and reputation.
Fagnano, meanwhile, enters the Ravens’ camp as another developmental option, hoping to impress coaches and potentially secure a spot on the team’s depth chart or practice squad. The addition of both signal-callers provides the Ravens with extra arms for minicamp drills while also creating additional competition behind established starter Lamar Jackson.
This approach is consistent with the Ravens’ recent strategy of identifying and developing overlooked quarterback talent. By bringing in both Pavia and Fagnano, the organization is giving themselves multiple options to evaluate during minicamp and beyond. For the players involved, it’s an opportunity to prove themselves at the professional level after being passed over in the draft process.
As the rookie minicamp approaches, all eyes will be on how the two undrafted quarterbacks perform, particularly Pavia given his headline-making background. Their progress during minicamp could determine whether either quarterback earns an extended look or a spot on the offseason roster.
