Sticky Wisconsin corner with NFL-tested athleticism
Faion Hicks built his Badgers reputation on sticky man coverage, plus athleticism, and a physical, competitive edge that showed up over four seasons in Madison. In his Wisconsin career, he totaled 105 tackles and 8 passes defended, and his 4.57-second 40-yard dash plus 36.9-inch vertical hint at the movement skills that made him a fit for press-heavy, aggressive coverage schemes. The catch: he was more of a reliable role player than a ball-hawking takeover corner, so he projects best for a team that values discipline, toughness, and experienced depth over splashy stats.
