Savage would best operate in a timing-based West Coast system that prioritizes accurate short-to-intermediate throws and minimizes reliance on his deep ball.
Year 1: backup developing foundational mechanics. Ceiling: low-end starter in a rhythm-based passing game.
Any spread RPO or Air Raid system where he's asked to consistently read half-field and extend plays with his legs.
A traditional pocket passer, Savage is best suited for schemes that lean into quick throws and play-action rather than requiring significant improvisation or downfield velocity.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
