But since he’s his own agent and didn’t hire one, he gets all $15,000 instead of $14,250 after agent fees………

Got that 3 yr deal on his own. No agent.

People hate him. He will turn heads in the NFL. Everyone has counted him out even more so than Sanders. They want to compare him to Johnny football and all of his downfalls. Well he never had problems with his coaches, got suspended in school, never got into trouble at Vandy, never been arrested, doesnt use drugs and works his arse off. Pavia is going to prove the haters wrong. The league minimum is 885k p/yr.

That’s if you’re on the active roster. Practice squad guys make 13k a week they are on the practice squad.

How would an agent make him 6’0” tall?

Not really about that, more about the connections and creating a market in the UDFA scrum

Ravens were interested in signing him, if he had a few other teams in the market (and it’s possible he did anyway but he didn’t know how to leverage it), it creates an incentive for the teams to add a bonus to have him pick them. An agent would’ve been working those connections throughout the 5-7th rounds

You're getting heavily downvoted, but I wouldn't be surprised if you turn out to be correct. The dude is a better QB than several QBs that I've seen drafted in rounds 1-3 over the years. He fricked himself by having a loud arse mouth, and dumbass attitude, but if he can get his shite together, then I can see him staying on a roster. Sucks that he comes across as such a douche, because there is a lot to like about his game.

He could have used agents used by Doug Flutie, Kyler Murray, Bryce Young, and Russell Wilson. All are the same height as Pavia.

His hand size is larger than Joe Burrow’s. But probably not his shoe size.

I have read all over and they do. I pull for the guy. People hate and are intimated by confidence. People and their ridiculous pride can come here and downvote away and that just further proves my point . He is still immature and people want to crucify him for it he has no other known off the field issues or on. The Dc for the Ravens is a long time friend of Coach Lea and lea vouched for Pavia, so instead of making him do a mini camp, they immediately signed him to a 3 yr deal based off Lea's recommendation and doesnt have to do the mini camp. A college head coach would never risk his reputation to help a bad kid. They would never trust him again. If immaturity is the only problem he has, that can be easily fixed inside an organization. He isnt anything like Manziel.

Whats wild is people think he didnt get drafted because of his "f indy" comment or yada yada yada reasons. The NFL didnt draft him to teach him a lesson and a cautionary tale others that they better get an "agent". He refused an agent and in fact said he will never get one. The NFL despises this. NFL agents want money those blood sucking vampires. Kudos to him for representing himself and sticking to his guns. Maybe the kid isnt driven by money and just wants to play knowing the money can come later. The dude is already got 7 figs. We will see.

if anyone has watched him play, he plays hard, always finds a way to play over his head. The kid has the x factor. He is a clutch player. If Kyler Murry can do it, he can also. Immaturity can always be corrected in the NFL, it will be left up to him to accept the discipline and grow. Many people think him not get a big contract was dumb by him. The kid doesnt seem to be phased by money and already has millions in the bank. I do have a different feeling about why he didnt get drafted. It was because he didnt get an agent. This was a cautionary tale handed down by the NFL. Bs but people in nfl circles are talking. NFL agents dont want players finding out they can represent themselves.
