Aaron Rodgers predicting a big season from Packers S Darnell Savage in new defense

From the quarterback’s view, Joe Barry’s new defense will provide the opportunity for a big season from one of the Green Bay Packers’ best young defensive players.

According to reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, third-year safety Darnell Savage is a perfect fit for Barry’s scheme, which is designed to give the ascending young safety more opportunities to use his speed and range to make plays all over the field.

“I think certain guys might see more opportunities than maybe they have in the past. One guy in particular Darnell Savage, I think has had a fantastic camp,” Rodgers told Larry McCarren of the team’s official site.
