Darnell Savage brings shades of Adrian Amos’ Chicago running mate to the Packers

The perfect complement to new Green Bay Packers safety Adrian Amos would have speed, playmaking, and coverage ability, including some slot work. Eddie Jackson ticked all those boxes in Chicago, allowing Amos to play steady, assignment football while Jackson created splash plays.

On day one of the 2019 NFL Draft, Green Bay traded up from the 30th pick to number 21, nabbing a guy who has a chance to check all of those same boxes. Maryland safety Darnell Savage lives up to his name, a heat-seeking missile who flies around with bad intentions despite a lean 5-foot-11, 198-pound frame.
