Sean Hickey was Syracuse’s durable, NFL-caliber left tackle anchor
In the 2014 season, Sean Hickey was Syracuse’s most dependable offensive lineman, starting all 12 games at left tackle and earning All-ACC Coaches Third Team honors. He stood out for size, toughness, and consistency—after missing the 2011 season with a lower-body injury, he came back to start 38 straight games in his Syracuse career. NFL draft evaluators viewed him as a mid-round prospect, which says a lot: he wasn’t just steady, he was sturdy enough to draw pro attention. If your team wants a battle-tested tackle with leadership and reliability, Hickey fits the bill.
