Will NFL Teams CARE About Diego Pavia’s Heisman Meltdown? | HARD PASS Ep. #74Diego Pavia’s post-Heisman meltdown is NOT going to be the reason he’s not drafted … no matter how badly people want to pretend it will 👀Doug Kezirian breaks down the reaction to Pavia’s Instagram post after finishing as the Heisman runner-up, why the “he hurt his draft stock” narrative is lazy, and why NFL teams simply do not care about a moment like this if the talent is there.Doug explains why Pavia’s draft outlook was always about his limitations as an NFL quarterback, not his choice of words after a frustrating night, and why the news cycle will completely move on by the time the Combine and Draft roll around. From Cam Newton’s perspective, to Stephen A. Smith’s reaction, to parallels with Cam Ward’s bowl game controversy last year, Doug reacts to it all.He also dives into the real debate that got lost in the noise: whether Diego Pavia should have won the Heisman in the first place, why Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza benefited from the situation around him, and why winning at Vanderbilt meant more than people want to admit.Do you think Pavia hurt his draft stock, or do teams not care about moments like this?
