Dolphins’ Aaron Brewer Praises Rookie OL Jonah Savaiinaea: “He’s Special”

Miami Dolphins center Aaron Brewer is already impressed with the team’s second-round draft pick, offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea. The veteran lineman didn’t hold back in his praise, highlighting both the rookie’s physical gifts and his potential.“Special,” Brewer said, according to the Palm Beach Post. “Big dude. But he’s a big dude who can move.”Brewer went on to explain how he closely followed the Dolphins’ draft selections, eager to learn more about the new faces joining the roster.“As soon as I saw really every position that was drafted, I looked up highlights, the combine performances—all that good stuff,” he said.What stood out most about Savaiinaea? His rare combination of size and athleticism.“He’s not just big—he’s nimble,” Brewer emphasized. “When you get someone that size who can move the way he does, that’s something you can’t teach. It’s rare.”Brewer, now an established presence in the Dolphins’ locker room, understands the challenges rookies face when transitioning to the NFL. Beyond Xs and Os, he believes the biggest lesson he can pass down to the younger players is the importance of taking care of their bodies.“I’d say, be proactive with your recovery,” Brewer said. “When you’re young, full of energy, you’re just on the go. You’re trying to impress coaches, earn the respect of your teammates, show the vets you belong. But what a lot of young guys overlook is how crucial recovery is to longevity in this league.”He stressed the importance of building habits early—before injuries or burnout become issues.“Don’t wait until later in your career to start taking care of your body,” he said. “This is your moneymaker. Every single day, you’ve got to have a recovery routine—whether that’s stretching, cold tubs, massages, or just rest. It all adds up.”With Savaiinaea showing elite physical traits and veterans like Brewer offering mentorship, the Dolphins are hoping to build a strong, durable offensive line that can anchor their offense for years to come.—Let me know if you’d like it tailored for social media, a press release, or another format.
