Diego Pavia’s NFL road has gone quiet, and the door back to college football is not fully closed. The Heisman runner-up went undrafted, was released by the Ravens days before camp opened, and insiders now say a lawsuit challenging his eligibility could put him back under center this fall. His argument: four NCAA seasons plus two years of JUCO should not cost him the fifth year other players just won when U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted a nationwide class-action injunction in Wisne v. NCAA on July 31. Without an NFL deal, the 24-year-old is down to practice squad, CFL or court. If he lands somewhere before Week 1, that is an instant college football DFS storyline, a proven producer in a brand new offense at opening-week pricing the market will not have figured out yet.
