Is Diego Pavia the NFL's shortest quarterback? The 5-foot-9 Vanderbilt player is determined to prove he can succeed at the professional level. The Senior Bowl measurements confirmed his height, making him the shortest quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger if he makes it to the league. Currently, the NFL's shortest quarterbacks are Carolina's Bryce Young and Arizona's Kyler Murray, both of whom measured 5-foot-10 and 1/8 before their drafts. Pavia is only a quarter-inch shorter than them, which shouldn't deter NFL teams from considering him, especially given Young and Murray's status as first overall picks. However, the NFL's focus on physical attributes and the rarity of quarterbacks under 5-foot-10 could pose challenges for Pavia's draft prospects. Historically, the last quarterback to play in the NFL at under 5-foot-10 was Eddie LeBaron of the 1963 Cowboys. Despite this, Pavia's determination and unique stature make him an intriguing prospect, and his journey to prove his worth in the NFL is one to watch.
