Thomas Benjamin Savage (born April 26, 1990) is an American former professional football quarterback. He played college football for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Arizona Wildcats, and Pittsburgh Panthers, and was selected by the Houston Texans in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft.
Savage spent the first four seasons of his career with the Texans; during his first three seasons, Savage was primarily a backup and missed the entire 2015 season due to injury.
