Recent Tom Savage Notes
Tom Savage
prototypical delivery and throwing technique with balanced footwork in his set-up and release. poised and comfortable in the pocket to survey and deliver. fearless in the pocket to step into the face of pressure and find his man.
Tough as nails and durable, brushing off contact and playing through pain. Intelligent, mature and grounded with good leadership traits. Well-traveled and experienced. Productive senior season as a team captain, finishing with 61.2 percent completions and 24 total touchdowns (21 passing, 3 rushing).
strengths
Broad shoulders and filled-out frame. Passes the eye test with NFL size. Above average arm strength and velocity on throws to all levels of the field with a clean spiral.
had some minor injuries this past year and missed some playing time with a mild concussion (sept. 2013) and rib injury (dec. 2013).
--Dane Brugler
too many poor decisions as a passer, forcing throws and staring down coverage. leads defenders to his intended target. questionable vision and eye use. needs to develop his anticipation to grip it and rip it. struggles to identify blitzes and consistently read defenses.
Lacks ideal on-field experience for a 24-year-old prospect. Decided to leave two different programs (Rutgers, Arizona) and his commitment and mental toughness will be questioned.
weaknesses
Some mobility, but sluggish in the pocket with stone feet and struggles with pressure, both locating and evading. Accuracy and ball placement is very streaky with poor timing.
