Scouting Report: Strengths
- Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute.
- Fires out of his stance with a good pad level, consistently winning at the point of attack.
- Has the natural power to move defenders at the point of attack. Savaiinaea also has the agility and speed to get out in front and land blocks at the second level. He also shows a good understanding of angles when climbing to the second level.
- Shows excellent awareness when presented with stunts and blitzes, and Savaiinaea works well with teammates on combo blocks
- Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
- As a pass protector, he plays with good balance and holds up against the bull rush. Savaiinaea has strong hands and does a nice job gripping and latching on once he has his hands on the pass rusher.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has fairly heavy feet, struggling to mirror against quicker defenders. Savaiinaea lacks the range to get out as an effective puller, and Savaiinaea can often look stiff when moving out into space and zeroing in on bodies.
- Has heavy hands, but he struggles with hand placement, often shooting too high and failing to take full advantage of his natural strength.
- He seems too focused on winning with his hands, too often stopping his feet. Savaiinaea also plays with poor balance in the run game, lunging into contact rather than sinking his hips and delivering a block.
