The Packers years account for 85% of his career tackles and 81% of his pass defenses. 2025 has been a different player on a different journey.
2020 was the outlier — 12 pass defenses, 2.4x his next-best season.
AnomalySavage's 12 PDs in 2020 dwarfs his next-best (9 in 2021). His other six seasons averaged around 4 PDs apiece. The sophomore breakout was the peak.
3 different teams credited tackles for Savage in 2025 — rare for a former first-rounder.
ComparisonBUF, JAX, and WAS have all credited Savage with at least one tackle this season. A first-round safety being claimed and re-routed three times in one year is unusual — and the Commanders landing spot may be his best chance at sticking.
