Diego Pavia and Lamar Jackson will be teammates on the Baltimore Ravens, at least for a period of time. That might prove awkward for Pavia in light of some of the things he has said in the past.
Video resurfaced Tuesday in which Pavia was asked whether Jackson or Johnny Manziel was the best college football player of all time. Pavia brushed aside the question and simply said he was.

Jackson probably doesn’t care that much about whether he is regarded as the best college football player of all time or not. The clip may still make for some awkward moments in the Baltimore locker room, though.
There is also nothing too unusual about the clip. Pavia’s supreme confidence has been one of his calling cards, though it is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and they have backfired at times. That may have been part of the reason it took him to long to find a job, as teams would prefer their third-string quarterback not be a source of drama, to say the least.
Plenty of people already thought Jackson and Pavia would probably not get along in Ravens camp. Those people will point to stuff like this to further their arguments.
