Internet Reacts To Diego Pavia's Senior Bowl Height Measurement

Vanderbilt QB and college football bad boy Diego Pavia came up short at the Senior Bowl — literally.

Despite being listed as 6-feet tall on the Commodores' website, Pavia was measured at just 5-foot-9 leading up to the Senior Bowl on Saturday.

The Internet had a field day with this discrepancy.

Already facing an uphill climb to be picked in the 2026 NFL Draft since Pavia turns 24 next month, his climb to the NFL just got a little steeper.
