Hicks fits schemes that prioritize versatility and intelligence at the linebacker position, allowing him to play multiple spots.
Year 1 could be a rotational inside linebacker in a 4-3, with the ceiling to develop into a three-down starter as a versatile MIKE or WILL.
He would struggle in a purely two-down, downhill run-stuffing 3-4 interior linebacker role where athleticism and coverage are de-emphasized.
His intelligence and athletic traits make him a strong fit for modern defenses requiring linebackers to cover ground and make plays from various alignments.
Selected #84 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Philadelphia Eagles out of Texas.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
