Jonah Savaiinaea has opportunity to earn starting job at new spot

“I think he’s going to be better and have more confidence switching back over to the right [side]. He has a lot of built-up reps on the right side. And that’s what we’re going to do right now. I know Sully made that comment that we’re going to keep Kadyn at left and move [Jonah]. That was a big part of the whole draft process too. That was a conversation we had with Jonah when we first got here of like, hey man, you played on the right side [in college]. I mean, he was excited to be able to have an opportunity if we drafted the right guy to move back over to the right side.” Rookie offensive linemen often disappoint in today’s National Football League. The good news for Savaiinaea? He would be hard-pressed to play worse in 2026 than he did in 2025 — when he ranked 81st out of 81 qualifying guards according to Pro Football Focus. We will see if Miami’s new coaching staff — plus a move back to the right side of the offensive line — will allow Savaiinaea to turn his game around.
