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, he was primarily a backup, and missed the entire 2015 season due to injury. In 2017, he started the most games of his career at 7. After an offseason stint with the New Orleans Saints in 2018, he spent parts of the 2018 regular season with the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals without seeing any game action. He then had an offseason stint with the Detroit Lions in 2019.
