The Baltimore Ravens have released former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia before their full-squad training camp begins. The decision highlights that high-profile college recognition, including finishing as Heisman Trophy runner-up, does not guarantee an NFL opportunity or place on a roster.

Pavia was cut on Thursday, with Ravens full-squad practices due to start the following Wednesday. The article describes him as a former Vanderbilt star and notes that he did not reach the start of training camp; it provides no reason from the team for the release.
