Diego Pavia
Throws Cash At Stripper’s Butt
… Weeks Before Draft
Published
Diego Pavia might not have an NFL home, but he made a strip club his own last month … ’cause TMZ Sports has obtained video of the former Vanderbilt quarterback throwing a wad of cash at a dancer’s butt.
We’re told the Heisman finalist made his way to Knockouts Gentlemen’s Club in Albuquerque on March 8 … where he spent the night enjoying the vibes.
Our source says ALL of the money scattered on the stage in the clips came from Pavia … and he remained there until 5 AM.
It’s unclear when he showed up at the strip joint … but he was there for at least three hours, according to our witness.
It seemed like a break in his draft preparations … as he was hoping to be one of the 257 guys snagged in the event from Thursday to Saturday last week.
Unfortunately for him, that wasn’t the case … and he became the first Heisman finalist to go unclaimed since Northern Illinois star Jordan Lynch in 2014.
Pavia did get an invite to the Baltimore Ravens’ rookie mini-camp … where he can try to prove that he’s got what it takes to compete at an NFL level.
Despite leading Vandy to a 10-3 record and winning a ton of awards last season, scouts didn’t expect him to get drafted … with many pointing to his size and character as red flags.
In fact, Pavia landed in hot water when he posted a shot at Heisman voters after he didn’t win earlier this year … and later apologized for saying “F*** ALL THE VOTERS.”
If he ends up making the cut in Baltimore, he could learn from former MVP Lamar Jackson … and that would be a pretty appealing opportunity.
