Savage has the ability to play at the next level because of his ability to fly around the field and be around the ball at all times. He has the capability to come in and play as a deep safety or inside the box from day one. He doesn't have the versatility to play directly in the slot but can be used in off man or zone coverage. He is tough enough to play strong safety but his size could deter some teams from playing him there. He will struggle in coverage because he tends to lose separation when he opens his hips to run with the receiver. He does have make up speed but bigger receivers can box him out to get the reception. He does make up his deficiencies in coverage with his ability to sit back and react to the ball. His quickness allows him to close space to get the deflection or pick. He can be a disruptor because of his overall game speed which allows him to end a play before it begins. He will fly up the field to get the tackle for a loss or fill the gap. While he didn't have major sack production at the college level I do believe he can be sent on certain blitz packages and help get pressure on the quarterback. As a rookie, he should be able to come in to compete as a starter or at least get majority of the snaps. If he can develop as a player and possibly bulk up a little without losing any of his speed then he should be a long-time starter in the league with Pro Bowl potential.
