Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, measuring 5-foot-9 and 7/8, aims to prove he can succeed in the NFL, potentially becoming the shortest quarterback since the 1970 merger. Currently, the league’s shortest quarterbacks are Bryce Young and Kyler Murray, both at 5-foot-10 and 1/8, suggesting Pavia’s height shouldn’t disqualify him from consideration. However, teams typically scrutinize player measurables, and the last recorded quarterback under 5-foot-10 was Eddie LeBaron in 1963. With Pavia previously listed at 6-foot-0 by Vanderbilt, teams must now assess his viability as a professional quarterback based on his true height.
