Diego Pavia could have used an agent, after all
When former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia appeared on Jon Gruden's QB Camp series in the weeks preceding the draft, Pavia made it clear that he's entering the NFL without an agent. " Iām representing myself ," Pavia said. "I didn't think it was fair that someone was gonna represent me and take five to 10 percent.
. . .
Ain't nobody taking my money. I'll tell you that. " As the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted since 2014 , Pavia currently ain't got no money to take.
A good agent can be a difference maker for any prospect. A good agent works their contacts aggressively, and argues zealously for their clients. A good agent can get a player drafted higher than he would have been draft.
And if that's not enough to get the player picked, a good agent can provide good advice as to which teams should be targeted in undrafted free agency. A good agent also can negotiate the best possible terms of a UDFA deal. Surely, someone will offer Pavia a spot on the 90-man roster.
