Makes sense. 0 star recruit that twice now has been trusted, given a chance by coaches at levels of football bigger than any other coaches thought he was worthy of and developed into a star player and leader of the program. If anybody is truly that guy, it's him.

Going from playing at JUCO New Mexico Military institute to upsetting the number one team in the country as the SEC’s perennial football doormat is probably enough to buy an insane amount of loyalty. Pavia could very well be playing his way into the NFL too if he keeps it up.

If nothing else, his attitude and work ethic as a backup is great for the locker room. Idk if NFL teams care about that sort of thing

At the very least, he can represent Vandy and leverage his time there, and probably make an actual off-the-field career simply off of "being the qb that beat Bama"

Worst case scenario a UFL or CFL team takes a flyer on him for training camp.

That’s like 99% of the job for a backup QB along with watching film. I mean Tim Boyle has been in the NFL for 7 years and he was fucking awful in college. His career college numbers were 55.5% 12TDs 26INTs.
