Safety

Like Darnell Savage was as a high school prospect, Honor Faalave-Johnson is an athletic, multi-positional star who could project at multiple spots, but will likely end up at safety. Both Savage and Faalave-Johnson were standout running backs at the varsity level, while also playing defensive back. Faalave-Johnson has more speed on the track at the same stage, with Savage adding speed in college before ultimately running in the 4.3 range in the pre-draft process. 

Fa'alave-Johnson is one of the more unique athletes to come out of the West in some time and could legitimately play four positions at the college level. He was recruited primarily as a running back and safety but we’ve seen him play receiver and corner and he’s very capable at those two positions as well. He’s a true home run threat at running back with explosive speed and 22.76 MPH on the GPS as a junior. He has some power to him as well, excellent contact balance and can run through would be tacklers. At safety, he's smart, rangy, has excellent ball skills and plays with a mean streak. He has an edge in his game and is one of those players you love on your team but hate to play against. He brings special teams value as a return man as well and has all the talent to compete for playing time immediately at the college level.
